About the series
Set across the Belgian countryside from the mid-19th century into the 20th, De meesters van de gerst is an epic, eight-volume family saga published by Glénat between 1992 and 1999. Chronicling the fortunes of the Steenfort family and their brewing dynasty, the series blends historical drama with the art of beer-making, brought to life through the detailed, warm linework of artist Francis Vallès. It stands as a lovingly researched, multi-generational tale of ambition, tradition, and the industrial transformation of Europe.
