"Duvel Says it Has More Than Enough Beer After Ransomware Attack"

Late last night, Duvel Moortgat Brewery was hit by a ransomware attack, halting beer production in the company's bottling facilities.  Duvel is a Belgian beer brand best known for its strong and fruity golden pale ale bearing the same name.  The brewery also makes other popular abbey beers, such as Vedett, Maredsous, and La Chouffe, which are enjoyed all over the world.  The company said that they hope to restart production either today or tomorrow.  The company noted that their warehouses are stocked, so there should be no impact on distribution.  The company did not clarify if the cyberattack impacts production only at Duvel's main brewery in Breendock or other facilities in Antwerp, Oudenaarde, and Achouffe, too.  No ransomware gangs have claimed responsibility for the attack at Duvel at this time.
