Oudaan 15 W28-29, Antwerp, 2000, Belgium
Description
Richard Ootjers, Owner of Station 1280 and Thom Morrell are about to start up Antwerp’s first craft brewery in the centre of the city.
They plan to launch Uncharted Brew Co. in Antwerp’s Oudaan area at the Winkelcentrum, a small shopping centre known locally as the “beehive” for its hexagonal pattern and which sits at the base of Antwerp’s police headquarters.
That’s where Station 1280 moved to from the city’s central railway station in October 2020. The bottle shop and taproom had outgrown the cramped quarters at Antwerpen-Centraal, Ootjers said in an interview with the Beer Idiots.
At Oudaan, Ootjers now has more space, and a terrace where drinkers can hang out and perhaps even listen to some music in the open area.
And then there is the idea for the brewery in the space next door. He joined up with Morrell, who homebrews as BRWBRD, to create Uncharted Brew Co.

Draught Very good white head, dense, over fully hazy ochre beer, fine lace. Classic fruity nose, very faint ureum, bit of resin. Bitterish, resiny and dry fruit(peel). Bit unidimensional. Faint hopoil slickness, medium carbonation, light body. A bit dull-ish, certainly for already 6.9%.

pours unclear blonde, scent is full on green, danky hops. Taste is sharp, dank, harsh green and slightly tropical. very hopforward. Not the most balanced of Uncharted beers to date. Feels a bit 'soapy' by the choice of aromahops.

Draught Good pink head over deeper hazy red beer. Cherry nose, partly natural, partly perfumey, childrens' sweets. Tastes however like raspberry icecream. Again rather perfumey, cherry concentrate or -juice, rather than fruit. Hint of cherrystones all the same. Quite dry, fruitacids helping to thin. Adequate carbonation. Not bad... but Thom, here you might have gone further.

Good white head over almost clear golden beer. Ureum, but also a nice floral & citrussy aroma. Flowerpollen as from lilies. Citruspeel, citrusoils, pressed zeste. Very faint fruitsugars. Light body, good carbonation. As with all Thom's beer, everything perfect in order. But... the impression is "been there, done that". Txs to Stef!

Draught Very good & dense yellowish head, very regular over veiled orangey-golden, metallic beer. Citrus, musk, lots of ureum, exotic berries. Again ureum and asafoetida, funky lupulin. There is a faint acidity, neither fruity neither acetic or lactic. Very slick, hopoily. Good carbonation, at least medium bodied. Decent +
