La Corne Alcohol-Free Beers

La Corne, now sold as Corne, is a Belgian beer range created by Gaëtan Patin and owned since 2019 by Brasserie des Légendes, a family brewery near Ath, which brews it. Its alcohol-free beer, Nø Limits, is a 0.4% blonde launched in June 2025.

Who makes La Corne?

La Corne du Bois des Pendus was created by Gaëtan Patin at the Brasserie d’Ebly, in Ebly (Léglise), in Belgium’s Luxembourg province. Its name comes from a named locality beside the N4 near Parette, L’Avenir reported in 2020. The same report says there was a court case over the name in 2012, and Gaëtan Patin would win in court.

Its glass is part of the story. L’Avenir’s 2020 headline said the horned glass boosted La Corne, and the brewer’s online shop sells a 33cl Corne glass with its stand for €24.80. The brewer now sells the range as Corne: Blonde, Triple, Quadruple, Black and Nø Limits.

How La Corne moved to Brasserie des Légendes

Patin sold La Corne du Bois des Pendus to Brasserie des Légendes, near Ath, in 2019, L’Avenir reported in 2022; the beer was already brewed there while his plans for a brewery at Ebly were pending. By 2022 he had closed the Ebly project and put the site up for sale, blaming Covid and several years of losses, the paper reported. Brasserie des Légendes’ own 2025 sustainability report lists the buy-out of the Corne range.

So La Corne no longer has a brewery of its own: it’s a brand of Brasserie des Légendes, which brews it.

Who are Brasserie des Légendes?

Brasserie des Légendes was born from the 2006 merger of the Brasserie des Géants and the Brasserie Ellezelloise, it says. The Brasserie des Géants was founded in 1997 by two engineers, Pierre and Vinciane Delcoigne. The brewery is at the Castel d’Irchonwelz, near Ath in Hainaut, which it dates to the 12th century.

It describes itself as “a family brewery based on authenticity, terroir and tradition”, on an EU–Japan Centre producer page, and its 2025 sustainability report, signed by Pierre and Vinciane Delcoigne, speaks of family management. We couldn’t see its shareholders, but we found no larger drinks group behind it, so we list La Corne as independent.

How big is Brasserie des Légendes?

Its 2025 report gives 20,000 hectolitres a year, two brewing sites and 29 employees. Its other brands include Goliath, Gouyasse, Quintine, Hercule, Legends and Ducassis, and it took over the Distillerie de Biercée in June 2019, the EU–Japan Centre page says.

La Corne’s alcohol-free beer

Nø Limits is the only alcohol-free Corne: launched in June 2025 at the brewery, its report says, with only 0.4% alcohol. The brewer calls it a blonde with a light touch of bitterness from Target hops, brewed from water, barley malt, hops and yeast, and a real Corne brewed with all the know-how of the range. It doesn’t say how it keeps the alcohol down.

The Alcohol Free Co describes a malty body, a proper bitter edge and a dry aromatic finish, crisp rather than sweet. Nobody publishes its calories that we could find, and we found no awards for it. It wasn’t on Brasserie des Légendes’ own online shop, De la Terre au Verre, when we checked.
