Description
19th century land-use plan of the area mentions a brewery owned by a certain Petronnella De Troch.
Even older records indicate that her father, Pieter De Troch, was running a brewery on the same site in the late 18th century. Petronnella married Egidius De Troch and in 1898 their son Louis took the family business over. Louis Married J. De Neve, and their son, also Louis, inherited the brewery and farm in 1936. The same Louis married M.L. Van den Moortel.
Their nephew Jos Raes and his wife M. Vanderhasselt took on the family tradition in 1974 and have been running this rare craft brewery ever since. In 2002, their son Pauwel Raes joined his parents into the family business.
In July 2012 Pauwel & his wife Kristel Schelfthout took over the brewery to continue the brewery tradition !

Bottle. Very sweet overripe banana aroma with hint of sourness. Clear golden yellow with moderate head and effervescense. Super sweet banana mixed with sour musty flavor of a more traditional lambic. So cloying it almost beats maple syrup. Might make good snowcones or Hawaiian shave ice.

Bottle. Pineapple-orange syrup aroma (like the pineapple topping on a sundae or banana split) with a hint of vinegar. Cloudy orange-yellow color with thin film of a head. Super sweet pineapple flavor with moderate sour vinegar flavor - not a good combo. Probably the most beautiful sites in Belgium are the majestic pineapple fields.
