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 from Pressklubben. Overwhelming aroma of oak barrel. You can imagine the dark cellar filled with aged barrels of Geuze. Still wee like appearance. Taste is barrel, followed by cherries, finishing with pure geuze like bitterness. Interesting to try a beer from a small Geuze maker. Not like Cantillon but still a fun and lovely drink.

Bouteille (375ml): Almost clear, orangey-golden, no head to speak of, moderate sourish aroma of citric acid and unripe apples, with a mild cellary and musty background; moderate to solid bone-dry bitter and sour flavour, medium bodied, dry and tart; lingering dry - what else - citric and vinegar-like finish, nearly without any balancing sweetness. Authentic drop, just a bit too dry...

375ml bottle bottle shared at the Spring DC tasting. Poured a dark kind of purple juicebox purple with a small head. Aroma was sweet candy, raspberries, with funky cherries. Slightly acidic, but more tart than anything else. Funky.
