The names of cities that breweries use in their official addresses give a good idea of the general linguistic approach taken by the company.  Many towns in Belgium, regardless of their regional location have both a French and a Dutch name.  Some brewers have historically used both names in labeling, while others have stuck to one.  The following table shows a list of currently operating brewers and blenders, their locations in both Dutch and French (if available), and their preferred use.
