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!

Amber colour, white head. Bit of a gusher. Malty aroma, light funk, biscuit, light caramel and lemon. Light sweet, light sour flavour, malts, wild yeast notes. Light sour finish, caramel. Interesting and nice.
(From 33cL bottle @ Bodegraven. Thanks for the bottle, bierkoning!)

Bottle thnx! to Bierkoning !!!! pours unclear blonde, nearly no head that fades instantly . Smell is funk, wood, brett , bit bitter , reminds a lot of Girardin . Taste is butter, sour, funk, some oak , bit dry , a sweet aspect to it . Some grains. very refreshing and drinkable. Very different than the other Geuze he made . This one is less sour for sure , but I might even prefer this . While the Nr2 is overcarbonated, this is nearly flat .

Bottle @ Borefts thx to bierkoning, small sample. Hazy to cloudy golden color, short head. Aroma of funk, barnyard, bit sweet fruitiness, citric. Mostly citric acid in taste with a bit of lactic acid. Nicely balanced, quite soft. Nice stuff.
