SALES MANAGER & BRAND AMBASSADOR
The nickname “Bobo” has appeared alongside the Chimay brand for nearly two decades. If you have ever attended an official Chimay event chances are you have crossed paths with Luc “Bobo” Van Mechelen. A native of Belgium, he has been an instrumental part of the success of Belgian Beer in the U.S. From 1979-1990 he owned and operated Gambrinus, one of the country’s first Belgian beer bars located in Austin,Texas. After closing the doors of his restaurant and 1990, “Bobo” held various sales position, most notably regional sales manager and ultimately President of MBI. We are very excited to have “Bobo” on our team and his passion and wealth of knowledge makes him the perfect fit. Besides his love for drinking a properly poured Chimay Cinq Cents (White), he loves to cook!
“Selling and teaching about Belgian beers is second nature for me, I do love it.” – “Bobo”
