Reinaert beer is named after the medieval Reignhard the fox" story (oldest manuscript from about 1275), originally written and told in Flandres (the region between Gand and Antwerp). The story, in which animals play human roles, is frequently translated in many languages. It is only brewed in the region where the story took place (between Gand, Belgium and Hulst, Netherlands).
(Thanks Leonard)Reinaert is the name of a Fox.There is a very medieval stoy about Reinaert the Fox, an animal full of tricks, cheating the rich, the poor ones' hero.
