Description
Een aantal vrienden besluiten, na enkele jaren van bierproeven, om zelf de roerstok ter hand te nemen. In een, deels zelf in mekaar geknutselde brouwinstallatie van 30 liter, komen een 30tal bieren tot leven. Van licht tot donker, van zoet tot bitter…

Als hun (tot dan toe) laatste creatie: “Viswijf”, een zilveren medaille behaalt op de "Brouwland Biercompetitie”, worden plannen gesmeed om de rest van de wereld te laten meegenieten. Hans en Peter richten samen het bedrijf "Brouwerij Vissenberg" op en laten hun bier op vraag maken bij Brouwerij De Graal Brakel.

Eind 2015 kunnen ze hun grote droom waar maken en start de bouw van hun eigen ambachtelijke micro brouwerij met ketels van 300 liter. Medio 2016 is alles klaar en kan gestart worden met productie in Nijlen. In Nijlen zullen nieuwe bieren het levenslicht zien en experimenten gedaan worden. Het team is ondertussen versterkt door Jelle.

Bottle @ home. Opaque brown color, full sized fizzy beige to light brown head that lasts for quite a long time. Aroma is malts, brown malts, overripe dark fruits, lightly earthy. Taste malts, earthy, iron, brown malts, dark fruits again. Fizzy carbonation, average body. Not very good. -- Update: after leaving it on the table for about half an hour the carbonation subsided and the beer actually was pretty decent. It would probably get a 3.3 or thereabout now, so I averaged them (original rating was a 2.7) to a 3.0.

Medium creamy, cream-coloured head over orange-copperish beer. Aromatic, exotic fruit nose, hoppy, fragrant. Sweetish, malty, but with a fine sourish edge around the tonguesides. Good, short of being remarkable. Light to medium bodied, well-carbonated. Not bad at all, but I won’t get excited.
