Brewed since 1911, originally by Brouwerij Den Os in Bruges owned by the renowned Van Houtryve family. In 1957 was closed but Bourgogne des Flandres continued to be brewed a.o. by Verhaeghe. From 1985 onwards Bourgogne des Flandres was brewed at the Timmermans brewery. Since 2015 it's brewed in Bruges again, in a brand new brewery, still with Timmerman's lambic.

Bottle at Hops, Crewe. Pours a dark reddish brown (though the light was poor) with a small cream head. Said to be a sour beer of the menu, but it isn’t really. The bottle says it’s a “red-brown beer with mixed fermentation” which is probably better. It is sweet, dark and fruity with cherries, raspberries, malts and a touch of chocolate. Very pleasant and easy to drink.

Bottle. Brown color with a reddish shine, small head. Aroma is malty, sugar. Taste too, even something artificial I would say. Sweet beer, almost any tartness, no idea what it has of a flemish beer, or why they write lambic on the label...it's a strange beer, nothing too bad but also nothing special.

Bottle from Belgian beer supermarket. I think this beer is actually incredibly smart. LIke a Duchesse de Bourgogne and a dark lager / ale / porter mixed together. Incredibly mature and drinkbale. Love it. Could go the mile with this one.
