Description
The former name was brewery De Brouwketel, which was in operation at the current location at least from 1706 onwards. In 1884 the brewery became the property of the Duysters family. In 1968 the company was transformed into Duysters NV (limited liability company) which was active as a brewery until 1973.

The Loterbol brewpub started in 1995 in a renovated part of the brewery from the 18th century. in 2002 brewing started in the old brewery building of 1908. Both locations are still used for brewing.

375 shared with Ryan @ Alex's. Appearance: hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: a mix of lambic fun and Tripel with some booze. Taste: along the same lines, quite sophisticated and complex. There are Belgian yeasts, funk, nice (and dangerous) warming booze, esters, some light minerals. Overall: very nice.
