Description
Carine Van Dyck was met haar ex partner een financiële adoptie aangegaan
voor een baby uit de Filipijnen die direct na de geboorte bij familie van Carine is achter gelaten.

Na haar scheiding heeft ze Hans Wierts getroffen waarmee ze op 04/06/2010 is getrouwd.

Ondertussen bleek dat Tibor, ons adoptiekindje een ernstige erfelijke aandoening had,
waardoor dat de factuur voor zijn verzorging sterk opliep.

Pogingen om hem naar België te halen mislukten,
dus we stonden voor de keuze om onze spaarcenten stilaan naar ginder te sturen
of om ze te investeren in iets waar we geld mee konden verdienen.

Vanwege die situatie ginder hebben Carine en Hans op 07/04/2010 DijkWaert opgericht.

Op 3 oktober 2011 is het dan toch eindelijk gelukt om Tibor in België te krijgen,
na onderzoek bij de KU Leuven bleek dat hij de ergst mogelijke vorm van Hemofilie te hebben.
Waarop we de procedure om hem te adopteren in gang hebben gezet.
Op 28/06/2013 heeft de jeugdrechtbank in Turnhout de adoptie toegekend.

Na een aantal jaren heel hard werken bleek de belasting van drie jobs elk, te groot.
In augustus 2012 hebben we Maarten, de ondertussen op een na jongste zoon van Hans gevraagd
om vrijwillig mee te stappen in ons familie bedrijf.

Ondertussen groeit DijkWaert gestaag en zijn we toe aan een nieuwe grotere locatie met ditto brouw installatie

Hazy, dark brown. Aroma is floral and yeasty. A bit like some champagne. Flavour is tart, yeasty with some wood dryness. Strong alcohol finish.

75 cl. bottle sampled @ Kerstbierfestival Essen 2013. Reddish dark brown with a tanned head. Nose is candy sweet, caramel, toffee, fruity, faint coffee. Taste is toffee & distinct coca-cola, sweet herbs, toffee, touch iron, heavy malts, dried fruits. M/M body. Okay brew, the tasting notes on this one in the festival booklet are crazy. They talk about lactic notes, vinegar, mustard seed, pickles etc. Uhm, what? Their beer seems ridiculously fascinating but my sample had none of the stuff that they noted.

Bottle shared @ ZZT 8. Murky dark orange color, full sized a bit fizzy beige head. Smell malts, quite fruity, lightly yeasty. Taste lightly malts, nicely fruity, slightly orangepeel, lightly dry. Fizzy carbonation, average to medium body. A bit less carbonation would make this beer much better imo.
