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 Thick, stable cream-beige head over jet-black beer. Roast, tobacco, ashes, succulents, coffee, coffeecream. Roast, meat (very outspoken, more than just meatesters); again some ashes, earthy. Well-bodied (probably less than it appears), soft carbonation. OK, but I preferred the Rotterdam Tariff Corps.

Draught No head left but for a yellowish film. Utterly muddy orange-ochre beer, some lace. Very fruity nose, all kinds of citrus & exotic fruit. Bit of banana and asafoetida. Hints of burnet rose aroma. Fruity - if with restrained exuberance. Dry grains, asafoetida, bit farmyard or stable sweeping, and yet something perfumey-aromatic as well. Dried orangepeel. Medium bodied, hopoilslick, soft carbonation. Classic stronger IPA, but some of Thoms have been better.
