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 !

From bottle with JFE at In de Verzekering tegen de Grote Dorst, Belgium, 06.10.19. Clear golden. Dense and persistent white head. Acid aroma and taste of brett, sour lemons and white pepper. Good, but not very complex. Dry and astringent mouthfeel.

On tap @Luppolo Station (Rome). Color ciliegia, intenso, schiuma rosata leggera. Al naso note di ciliegia, frutta rossa, citrico, leggero vinoso. In bocca Γ¨ citrica, tart, tagliente, quindi emerge la ciliegia a stemperare un po' la furia acida. Corpo medio, carbonazione soft. Forse un po' troppo dritta e monocorde, ma che caratterino!
