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 !

Notes from April 2011 Two year old bottle. Poured into a Sam Adams Perfect pint glass just because. Tainted cork reeked of vinegar & fish sauce. Thin, hollow layer off-white head atop a slightly reddish, but mostly amber brew. Managed to keep most of the sediment out this time as well. Smell is an odd combo of green beans, wet leaves, cherry juice, adhesive, & hard/stale water. Taste is basically cherry syrup & boiled vegetables, with a splash of apple cider vinegar. A saccharine sweetness, sort of like what you find in Duchesse. Light acidity & a mild bitterness akin to that buzz your throat gets when sucking on pesticide laden fruit. Constantly frothy, but nearly flat. Somewhat syrupy. This isn't the worst thing in the world. It's just not brewed with you in mind. Still doesn't make it any good.

Notes from October 2011 Bottle from a place void of joy. Poured into a slender-ish Rare Vos glass. Soft, brittle inch of white foam. Color & clarity of Lipton iced tea. Smells of vinegar & caramel aged in a bucket made of wood. Tastes of cider vinegar spiked with loads of white table sugar. Cream soda, Sweet Tarts, lime, & popsicle sticks. The texture of carbonated syrup. Sort of like a Shirley Temple. I have such a headache.

Notes from June 2012 Bottle from the back of the fridge edition. The horn of plenty always has more for the ignorant & daring. :) Ommegang chalice. Seems flat on the pour. A hazy, dark yellow that settles out with time. The color of Darjeeling tea. Wow, if this doesn't smell like Chinese plumb sauce aged in oak. Taste is most assuredly, plums. Reminiscent taste of real iced tea & too much sugar also make themselves known. Oxidation on the very end. More bottled on dating please. A prickle of carbonation. Syrupy. Way too sweet to be able to take more then a sip to tell accurately anyways. The first Chapeau beer I haven't absolutely hated with all my being. Cheers. :)
