Description
The name Brasserie du Flo originates from the locality located just in front of the town hall. At this place was a body of water, the size of which varied according to the seasons and which was called 'Le Flo'. The Confrérie de St. Antoine (Brotherhood of St. Antoine) has had its own beer brewed since 1978 (Cuvée St. Antoine Brune). The beer was brewed for years at Brasserie du Bocq in Purnode and then at the Van Steenberge brewery in Ertvelde. In December 2002 a private microbrewery was established in the former town hall of Blehen.

After being at a standstill following the explosion of a tank in 2017, a new project (still under the wings of the Confrérie de St. Antoine) is being set up where the quality and the didactic aspect are put forward. A young team of enthusiasts will invest in modern equipment to relaunch the brewery.

Bottled. Dark amber colour with a mediumsized beige head. Aroma is some dark dry fruits, mild spices and mildly roasted malts. Flavour is yeasty, quite much sour fruits and mild alcohol. Something between a Belgian strong ale and sour ale. Pleasant.

Hazy brown body. Off-white head. Aroma of hops, yeast, grass and fine malts. Lightly sweet flavour, somewhat watery so not that good.

Hazy brown with a mossy shine; persistent yellow head. Earthy, leafy notes, a bit of lactic acid, pineapple ester. Sweet to sweet-sour taste, both meaty (yeastesters) and pineapple (again). Like a Chinese sauce base. Burning MF, medium bodied at best, yeast in suspension giving thicker impression. Nice, but not very special. Tried in less than ideal circumstances.

Bottle at Delirium Cafe, Brussels, Belgium - Many thanks to Joris for sharing this one.
Brown to black body. Fizzy, light brown head with a fair lace. Nose of grapes, flowers and hints of ruby port. Moderately sweet, moderately bitter flavour with a presence of malts. Very long-lasting flavour. Medium bodied. Fizzy carbonation. A quite sweet Belgian strong ale, but certainly no dominating sweetness, the sweetness is perceived as a ’side-flavour’ for the malty flavour. Very good!

Fully hazy dark beer, with red highlights; gushing to rather small cream head. Very fruity nose, plums, dark but unripe grapes, slightly meaty, bit of nutmeg, alcohol and a profusion of higher alcohols. Sweet-sour, very penetrating and powerful taste, characterized by typical fusels and correspondent esters. Fruit again: dark fruit as plums, brambles, grapes. Alcoholburn obvious; fleshy, chewy MF and full-bodied. WOW. For a small, new brewery this is impressive. The more as we could taste this only at room temperature.
