Description
Brouwerij Vanuxeem bestaat sinds 1906 en brouwde uiteenlopende bieren. In 1966 werd de productie echter stilgezet en wordt de firma voortgezet als distributiebedrijf. In 1986, het jaar van het bier, startte Vanuxeem terug met het op de markt brengen van bier - zij het niet meer ter plaatse gebrouwen – en werd het eerste Queue de Charrue-bier gelanceerd.

Fun fact: De naam “Queue de Charrue” is een letterlijke Franse vertaling van de naam van de gemeente waar de brouwerij is gevestigd: Ploegsteert (queue = staart en charrue = ploeg).

25cl draught @ Au Grand Estaminet du Mont des Cats, towards the end of a 57 mile MTB ride. Clear golden appearance with loose white foam atop. Crisp, gently sweet pilsner with a brisk bitterness. Ok quencher, if a little light and thin overall.
