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

One of DijkWaert’s first, presented as a stout but rather a Scotch style ale - in fact, no stout at all, which already makes me a bit suspicious about this brewery’s knowledge. Anyway, a bronze coloured beer with light beige, quickly dissolving head and an aroma of caramel, coffee grounds, dates, bread, walnuts, a bit harsh; dried fruity taste, sharpish malts, a bit grainy, caramelly, with roasted bitterness in the finish but insufficiently hopped and therefore on the thin and watery side. Like the other DijkWaert brews I tasted so far, this still needs a lot of work - and stop calling it a stout!

Bottle, 75cl. A crystal clear, amber colored beer with a dense, light beige head of finger-thick size. The aroma is lightly funky, with berries from the wood and some maltyness. Hints of lemon. Lacking complex, both in the aroma and the flavor. Some lemon hints in the flavor too, but it’s mostly on the berry side. Medium body and quite high carbonation level. Rather boring this one, but sure drinkable. 140830
