Description
Brewery Vandenbroek is a small family brewery. Craft and trust in nature are our driving forces. The brewery-housing and brewery equipment are fully self-designed and self-built as a lambic brewery. We have two brass woodfired coppers, a traditional cooling tun where -after hours of cooking- the wort will cool the night over and a beer cellar filled with oak barrels.
This creates the base for some very special beers. The brewing process is based on pure manual labor with a minimum of machines. That’s why we call our beers handcrafted. The fermentation and ripening of our beers are all natural, without any artificial cooling, just as in the old times. As a result, the seasons clearly influence the taste. We believe that high quality does not necessarily mean constant quality. Plan to be surprised. Cheers!

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Bit hazy amber with small white head. Deep cellar funk, malty, light herbal, peach yoghurt, some bitter oak and thyme. Not honey as such but this blend is quite soft and has some resudual sweetness. Solid medium bodied, soft carbonation.

Excellent. Incredibly earthy with a hefty, lingering oakiness. Similar to classic Belgian geuze in taste, though noticably unique as well. Dutch and delicious.

Fairly hazy golden orange with a ring off white head. Aroma is vinous, a little fruity, oak, funk and citrus. Flavour is moderate sweet and sour. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
