About
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!

8.2/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Bottle, many thanks kraddel! Rather clear rosé-amber color with white head. Aroma is red wine grapes, strong funk and leather. Taste is juicy red grapes, wood, funky Lambic, and quite some tannins. Sparkly carbonation. Great stuff!

Really good sour, great balance of fruit. But certainly not a geueze, doesn’t have the same character. Arendsnest Amsterdam

7.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
0.375 l bottle from 't Biermenneke, bottled in April 2020. Almost clear, amber with a medium large, amber with a medium large, slightly fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, sourish, gently funky and slightly fruity aroma of lemon, horse blanket, rhubarb, caramel, honey and oak. Gently sour, quite funky, slightly fruity taste of horse blanket, overripe lemon, rhubarb, oak, honey and caramel, followed by a medium long, gently tart, fairly woody-dry, rather funky finish. Medium body, gently astringent and quite effervescent mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. Complex but also refreshing, nicely balanced and not too sour at all, a real pleasure.
