To celebrate the 20th anniversary of our beloved Zinnebir, we developed three collabs with breweries that each played an important part in our history. Every time we do the same exercise: we reinterpret the recipe of Zinnebir with a certain touch that is specific to the brewery we collaborated with.

The first brewery we invited is De Ranke. When we were between breweries from 2006 to 2010 (between our breweries in St Pieters Leeuw and Molenbeek), they allowed us to brew our beers on their installation.
We called this collab Ribbeniz, because it really does reflect the old Zinnebir. She was brewed with a completely different yeast and different hops. We prefer not to elaborate too much in her description, because we want you to discover this beer for yourself, but we can tell you a few things. You will certainly remark a completely different fermentation profile, with a phenolic nose that will remind you of cloves. She has a pronounced and rustic bitterness, and the Belgian hops we used give her well spiced aroma’s.

Tap at BXL. Hazy golden. Massive weedy fresh hops, a lot of spruce, crisp malts, soft fruity yeast, bread crust, rye. Pretty damn bitter, light sweet. Kind of what you’d expect from this, it’s lovely.

Draft sample @ BXL BeerFest 2022.
Dorée au col blanc crémeux.
Arôme est frais, fruité noble, avec une pointe herbacée, notes fines belges qui s'écartent un peu de la base classique DLS.
Palais présente une approche intéressante avec de suite une levure assez distincte - qui oscille vers un côté hennuyer fruité avec un retour houblonné noble qui perce en retrait avec une fine touche d'épicé en retrait. Fine amertume en fin de bouche avec un houblonnage made in Belgium - possible Cascade ?

Il serait évidemment intéressant de faire un bon vertical avec l'originale.
