Gulden Spoor
Microbrewery
in Gullegem,
West Flanders,
Belgium 🇧🇪
Associated Venue: ’t Rusteel
Established in 2001
Begin jaren 1900 was Gullegem nog een gemeente met eigen brouwerij. De kriebels om dit terug waar te maken en de passie voor bier zorgden ervoor dat in 1985 voor het eerst werd gebrouwen. Volgens een aloude legende en de regels van echte saison bieren werd “Netebuk” als eerste van velen geproduceerd.
Ondertussen groeide ’t Rusteel uit tot een verfijnd restaurant met verscheidene evenementen over biergastronomie. Door deze groei was het mogelijk om in 2001 de eerste zelf gebrouwen liters uit testinstallaties te laten vloeien. Zo werd onze onafhankelijke brouwerij ’t Brouwkot geboren!
Nog geen 2 jaar later werd een volledige brouwzaal gekocht met vergisters en lagertanks. De filterkuip kon een beslag filtreren van 700L en de kookketel een 500L. De apparatuur en werkwijze werden ambachtelijk gehandhaafd om met plezier voor de stiel naar buiten te komen.
Door de tijd groeide de ervaring & passie, we wouden dit delen met meer liefhebbers. In 2007 werd de huidige installatie van 1200L ingewijd! We voelden onze mogelijkheden groeien en kwaliteit verbeteren. Dankzij de grote sprong vooruit leek het tijd voor een nieuwe naam. Onze ligging in de Leiestreek en de nabijheid van de historische guldensporenslag maakte het simpel:

750 shared by Marcus. Came a gusher, but the head didn’t stick. Pours hazy orange amber. Aroma is a bit sweet veg. Med. body; foamy car. Flavor is really Belgian - in a nettle, veg way. It’s lightly fruity, but very herby/hoppy. An unique ale. Burns a bit.

Bottle. Cloudy orange colour. Almost no head. The flavour starts off nicely sweet and spicy with an OK vegetable note. Distinct alcoholic finish, quite yeasty also. Some alcohol bitterness in the finish.

Bottle. Cloudy pale yellow colour. No head. The flavour starts off with some vegetable. Turns slightly citric, a bit spicy. Very subtle, but not bad.

Bottle, 75cl. 8% ABV. A hazy, golden-orange beer topped by a small white head. Slightly sourish on the nose, with coriander and fruity sweetness. There’s also something I can’t recognize, the wrapping (the beer is wrapped in paper, there’s no label) suggests licorce, but I don’t relate it that way. Might remind me of orange marmalade too. The flavor is pretty much the same, with a little cellar touch. Full-bodied and pleasantly carbonated. A nice beer in a strange way. It probably deserves an even higher rating, but can’t find where to lift the numbers. 100513
