Wijnber is a 'old brown ale', inspired by our regio where this style of beer is very well known. There are two classic styles of old brown ale, but Wijnberg is a new variation that is in between the two classic styles. The beer contains one third of young beer and two thirds of 'old' beer, aged for at least two years on wood barrels. For a more complex flavour we add a small amount of Jacobins, an old foederbeer made by brewery Vanderghinste in Bellegem. The end result is a complex balance of flavours between sweet and sour. The beer was named after the neighbourhood where one of the brewers grew up and it also means 'Mountain of Wine', and refers to the wine-like character of the beer.

Bière pression bue au salon de la micro brasserie de Mouscron. Jolie robe couleur chataigne à reflets acajou. Nez acidulé, typique des bières à fermentation spontanée. Bouche bien acidulée, peu sucrée, notes de fûts, de bois, et grosse dose d'acidite qui reste bien équilibrée. Pas mon style mais réussie dans son genre.

75cl bottle, Sophie's Beer Store. Looks like I'm on my own in being disappointed by this. Pours a hazed reddish dull brown, small off-white head. Aroma brings mild oud bruin notes, light vinous hints, malt. Taste seems rather subdued, lacking life.. very mild oud bruin character, malty with brown bread, old oak and a distant cherry sweetness. Yearned for a sharper sourness and juicier moments. Drinks quite well though. Just feels a bit deflated.

2020 bottle. Clear brown with a beige head that hangs around as a wisp. Aroma of brown bread, wine vinegar, some cherries. Low carbonation. Quite sour but a way off dry with some quite assertive woody spices as well as bread and wine on the turn. Waits for you to come to it and gradually reveals more.

Bottle, huge thanks Nino and Casey for sharing this with the rest of us (and Ryan for making sure I tried it!). Murky red-amber body, off white head. A well balanced, enjoyable aroma mixing red wine notes with well integrated acetic acid. There's a solid malty presence and this saliva-like touch, but all makes sense really. The taste is soft, sweetish, not as complex as the aroma, light tartness, red wine and funky notes, quite pleasant really. All in all, a very good beer.
