It doesn't always have to be beer ! Belgians like healthy drinks, hence their love for beer. They also like a change once in a while, hence their love for a lot of different beers and ......water. One of the most famous mineral waters that can be found in Belgian supermarkets is the SPA brand (Another famous mineral water is called "Chaudfontaine", named after the neighbouring town of the same name).

 Already in the 16th century the SPA water was exported. Some of the regular customers were the kings of France (Henry III). Shortly before the First World War a water exporting company was founded, called SPA-MONOPOLE.It is still now the only exploiting company of the very good Spa water. Its main symbol has always been the red clown trying desperately to put the bubbling water back into the Spa bottle.
