| Brouwerij Contreras, formerly called Latte Brewery is a Belgian family brewery founded in 1818 by Valere Latte and located in the East Flemish town Gavere. The company was owned by the family when Rene Contreras Contreras it bought up in 1898. He sold the company in 1920 to his nephew Marcel Contreras. His son Willy Contreras later took over the helm. The brewery is now run by the couple Frederik De Vrieze and Anne Contreras (daughter of Willy Contreras). |
