Description
110 years of Contreras in a 190 year old brewery. In 1818 Brewery Latte was founded as a typical farm-brewery. In the second half of the 19th century the company was led by Valère Latte who sold the brewery in 1898 to René Contreras. In 1920 René Contreras chose to sell his brewery to his nephew Marcel Contreras. it was Marcel who would transform the brewery into a modern 20th century company. He shaped the buildings as they currently still remain. In 1982 Marcel's son Willy became the sole manager of the brewery. At the start of the 21st century Ann Contreras, the only daughter of Willy Contreras, and her fiancée Frederik De Vrieze gradually took over the daily management of the brewery.

Draught@The White Horse. Golden color, small white head. Light sweet malty. Crisp carbonation. Sweet malty flavor - almost like drinking sweet perry. Harmless. Not much flavor, but at least lacks cardboard and such things :)

25cl bottle from Dranken Geers. Either this is supposed to be really toffeeish or this is a diacetyl bomb. Awful. Hate it and can’t drink it.
