Description
Het bier van de Muur en dus van elke rechtgeaarde wielertoerist, het streekbier van elke bierliefhebber: Giesbaargs Muurken. Deze brouwerij werd in 2011 opgericht en zette Geraardsbergen opnieuw op de brouwerskaart. De nadruk ligt op speciaalbieren van hoge gisting met nagisting op fles. Een initiatief van drie bierliefhebbers en hobbybrouwers Geert Welleman, Paul Vanrespaille en Hein Delabie. De naam betekent Muur van Geraardsbergen in het lokale dialect.

Omwille van de beperkte capaciteit van de eigen brouwinstallatie wordt het Muurken gebrouwen door De Proefbrouwerij in Lochristi.

Small yellowish head over metallic-golden beer. Coriander, human sweat, rainwater. Metallic-bitter; coriander less obvious than in the nose, but the bitterness is indifferent at best. Warming up, again spices and herbs, including the infernal weed. Slick, finish is harsh. Medium bodied. Not distinctive enough, and the coriander certainly doesn’t help.
