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 !

Poured from 375mL bottle (vintage 2013/2015). Lots of earthy apple, mild horse blanket, green peanut innards, odd but decent.

A pour shared with Ryan, Phill, and Nick. Appearance: clear golden. Aroma: some funk, a bit malty, not prominent. Taste: along the same lines, some fruity/floral notes, funky. Overall: pretty good.

Bière dégustée avec Graham. Cette brasserie devrait être clairement interdite. Après la faro qui était une ignominie, voici la gueuze, qui est à peine mieux. Le visuel est sur un ambré voilé sans mousse ni effervescence. Le nez est quasi inexistant. En bouche, cela reste hyper sucré avec très peu d'acidité et une texture qui colle au palais. Les arômes que la pomme, le vinaigre et le détergent sont peu appréciables. Pourquoi brasser une telle bière? Qui peut acheter cette catastrophe? A éviter.

Bière partagée avec Graham. Cette bière est à la fois une honte au style et à la Belgique. Comment peut on brasser et vendre une telle ignominie ? En verre, nous sommes sur un ambré avec peu d'effervescence et peu de mousse. Le reste…du vinaigre hyper sucré. Ce n'est pas bon...c'est une honte...

13/11/2022. Bottle bought at La Cave du 6eme KM, Noumea. Pours a little murky dark orange gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of sweet stewed fruits, white sugars, vinegar, sour peach, baked pear. Medium sweetness and moderate sour. Moderate body, watery, average to soft carbonation. Have enjoyed most beers I’ve had of this style. But not this one.

13/11/2022. Bottle bought at La Cave du 6eme KM, Noumea. Pours almost clear pale amber with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is white sugar and vinegar, stale citrus, wet walnut. Medium sweetness with tainted sour. Moderate body, low carbonation. Tangy tart vinegar finish. Poor example of the faro style.
