Maes pils is a brand of Belgian pils brewed by Alken-Maes. The beer finds its origins in the beer produced in 1930 for Antwerp Universal Exposition called Prima Maezenbier. After Jupiler and Stella Artois, it is the third best-selling pilsner in Belgium.
In 2008 Alken-Maes was taken over by the Dutch Heineken Brewery.
On 20 April 2009, Alken-Maes changed the recipe of Maes Pils, resulting in a slight change in taste and a rise in the percentage of alcohol from 4.9% to 5.2%. To mark the change, Maes was rebranded with a new logo, a new embossed bottle, and a new descriptive slogan "Extra Mout/Extra Malt".
