After a long renovation, Brouwerij Poesiat & Kater finally opened its doors, bearing the name of former master carpenter Bart Poesiat and master mason Klaas Kater, two important employees of the old brewery led by Hovy. Next to the Van Vollenhoven Extra Stout, a few other historic Van Vollenhoven beers are introduced such as the Princesse Bier and the East Indies Pale Ale.

Under the name of Poesiat & Kater, the brewery started a line of contemporary craft beers such as the Kaintz Triple, the Smuling IPA and Muuke Pale Ale.
