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

Bottle at the Essen Winter Beer Festival, 2015. Poured a murky dark brown with a thin whispy off white head. The aroma is light dry coffee, veggie, some light fruit. The flavour is moderate bitter, light dry yeast sour with a smooth liqourice bitter, dry spice, light alcohol palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle at tasting. Aroma of peated bandaid and yeast. Taste has some sour/sweet yeast at first, but than the weird herbal peatness comes in, has some weird smokey red fruit as well. A mess really, but I like peat so it gets some points for that.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Plus, Culemborg. Hazy golden with a white head. Malty aroma with some peat. Medium bitter. Normally I’m not that fond of beers with whisky malts but this one works really well. Not too peated but certainly noticeable. Nice atypical beer.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Plus, Culemborg. Hazy brown with a beige head. Aroma of roasted malts and caramel. Taste is bittersweet and has that vinous touch that I personally appreciate very much. Very decent Belgian Ale.
