About
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.

7.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7
Draught Huge, very dense yellow head on fully hazy yellow beer. Very hopoil-dominated nose, lupulin², citrus, citruspeel. Citruspeel, lupulin, quite resiny. Finish has hopbitter all around. Very resiny-oily feel, relieved somewhat by good carbonation. Medium bodied. Bit unidimensional, but also quite pleasing.

Pours clear, golden blonde. Small white head. Scent is crispy maltyness, mild pine character. Overall pretty mild, but pleasant. Taste is bitter, full and malty, rather intense pine. Quite a bit more intense than the aroma suggested. Refreshing IPA !

How Did the Cat Get So Fat? from Uncharted Brew Co.

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Pours hazy blonde, small white head. Scent is full, bit stonefruit, inviting, hop obviously overpowers, but doesnt bother at all. Taste is medium bitter, but it builds up. Stonefruity, bit sweet impression as well. Very balanced. Hop does take the lead but it works. Malts are pushed to the back, but provide good body. Medium carbonation. Yeast is silent, love the sharp bitterness that really binds the beer !
