About
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 !

Chapeau Oude Kriek from Brouwerij De Troch

4.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 4 Texture 6 Overall 4.5
Bottled. Notebook says De Troch Oude Kriek bottle had the normal Chapeau Kriek label, but according to diabel this was Oude Kriek, which is not sweet at all like the Chapeau Kriek is). Murky ruby red colour, not much head. Aroma is soap, shampoo, earth and sour cherries. Flavour is just about the same... Almost like Chapeau Kriek, but no sweetness what-so-ever.

Draught@Weekend Of Spontaneous Fermentation. Orangeish amber colour, no head. Aroma is sour wood with some sweeter notes. Flavour is sour fruits, wood and some weird sweetness. A lot of roasted peanuts (and overall nuttyness) in flavour also. Not very pleasant.

Danke an den Doppelbock fürs Teilen. Abgestumpft saurer Geruch, nicht frisch wirkend. Unscheinbar saurer Antrunk, der schnell abflacht und ein künstliches ekelhaftes Werk zurücklässt, es wirk alt und verkorkt, sowas will ich nie wieder trinken müssen! Test vom 30.5.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,8,7,3,-,6 - 6,52

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8
Draught Hazy brick red; no head. Beautiful old cherry, cherrystones, speculoos nose, parsley. Speculoos, but old one, which has gone stale, nearly rancid, very strange. Of course a lot of acidity, lactic acid, acetic, but remarkably little fruitiness, just some cherry at the lips. Medium bodied. I substitute of much taste, the cherries lend some rounded body to the beer. Very original kriek. Not what one expects, but it is not bad at all.
