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 @ home. Hazy pale yellow color, full sized white head that lasts for quite a long time. Smell and taste lightly malts, lightly sweetish, a hint of fruit funny enough. Weird. Low to average body and carbonation.

Bottled@Tuulensuu, Tampere. Yellowish golden colour with a big white head, that leaves lace. Aroma is caramel malts, some plastic, mild meaty and smoked notes along with some citrus as well as grainy notes. Flavour is spicy, caramelly, mild rubbery notes as well as some grains, meat and strange tart/acidic sourness to it. Very strange brew, which I can’t figure out if it’s just bad, or actually has an infection going on.

Bottle @ home. Hazy reddish amber color, full sized off-white head that lasts for quite a long time. Aroma is malts, a bit sweet, lightly raisins. Taste malts, again lightly sweet, lightly raisins, slightly a touch of herbs. Average body, medium carbonation. Not bad if you ask me, although I obviously do know this is one of so many typical almost the same Belgian beers. I enjoyed it nonetheless.
