He modernized the facility – it became one of the first steam powered breweries of the time – and his heirs would later greatly expand its influence. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the 1980s, like many family owned breweries of the time, Het Anker found it difficult to compete with large commercial breweries, and entered into partnership deals which never succeeded as intended.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the late 1990s, Het Anker, helmed by a fifth generation of the Van Breedam family, became independent again, and both focused and diversified its business. Today, the flourishing brewery includes both a restaurant and a hotel while producing a dozen or more ales exported around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0398\/7030\/0321\/files\/het-anker-charles-stokerij_573x381_eb1154ed-0a09-410f-ba5d-e847fd157bad.jpg?v=1725470721\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0398\/7030\/0321\/files\/het-anker-homebrouwerij_500x250_f5086028-bffb-49ab-978e-9a6e34c761e7.jpg?v=1725470738\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cavalier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45694599463088,"sku":"7654","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0398\/7030\/0321\/files\/goudencaroluswhisky.jpg?v=1792431643","url":"https:\/\/belgianstyleales.com\/products\/gouden-carolus-whiskey-barrel-aged-ale-25-4-oz","provider":"BELGIAN-STYLE ALES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
