Description
The founder of the brewery was a doctor in medicine, Louis Nevejan.
We have recently found papers in the archives stating that the first building dates from 1835 AD. Once it was both a brewery and distillery. The founder died in 1882 and the brewery was sold to Alouis Costenoble. The family brewed for three generations until 1980 when the brewery stopped.
Beer brands included COQ PILS OUD BRUIN & COSMOS. In Esen there were six breweries (all small and part-time) and two distilleries. The actual brewer is doing historical research on West-Flanders breweries since 1900 AD, and has got the 'GOLDEN HAMMER' Trophy, a two yearly award for historic research on breweries.

Gyllengul klar vätska med rejält skumtäcke. Brödig och lite citrusig i aromen. Markerad maltighet och framträdande syra i smaken. Lång och utdragen eldighet med aromatisk eftersmak.

2024 draught at Novare Res, 12/12/24. Hint of haze, deep copper brass. Large, creamy, white head, good retention. Rich white bread/baguette with excellent black pepper phenol. Plaster/mineral with fruity yeast, mild spice and moderate mellowness. No booze. Intense white bread and honey maltiness. Thick and rich, sweet. Some spice with lingering heavy malt. This doesn't seem to be the best expression of this beer, or maybe this beer is so big and brutish, it just has to be laid down.
