The year was 1628, nearly four centuries ago in Breda, Holland; the year that marked the birth of something remarkable that was bound to reshape the brewing industry as we know it, the ‘Brouwerij De Drie Hoefijzers’ - ‘Brewery of the Three Horseshoes’. The name itself was inspired by the neighbouring blacksmith’s tavern, where the horsemen took a much needed respite from their travels, shared drinks and stories, while their horses got re-shoed.

​

As time went by, ‘Brouwerij De Drie Hoefijzers’ rapidly grew in fame and popularity. In 1886, a brand-new brewery with state of the art facilities was constructed, and the new and now iconic headquarters was also built. This marked the beginning of two major milestones for the brand, one of which is the beginning of the worldwide export and distribution of the brand, and the second being the change of the brand name from ‘3 Hoefijzers’ to ‘3 Horses’ to cater for the international markets by having a brand name that is easier to pronounce and remember.

 

Today 3 Horses is well known for its extremely refreshing non-alcoholic malt beverage (NAM), bringing you that real and distinctive malt taste.
