Description
The brewery is the beating heart of the Craywinckelhof. It all started in 1893, when Germaan Van Obbergen, like many farmers at the time, started a small farm brewery. The brewery, however, was not granted a long life, during the First World War the German occupiers seized all the brewing material. In 2010, Louis Schrevens, now the 5th generation, decided to restore the brewery to its former glory.

5/II/17 - 33cl bottle from my dad-in-law, shared @ train ride to Brugs Bierfestival - BB: n/a (2017-108) Thanks to George for the bottle!

Clear pale yellow beer (that's not deep golden!), big solid creamy white head, stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: spicy, coriander, fruity, grassy, hay, dusty impression. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: very metallic, grains, pretty bitter, surprisingly. Aftertaste: more metallic, bitter and unpleasant. Well, I suppose most people visiting the pilgrimage are way beyond the point of tasting much subtleties anyway, so I guess they won't mind. I do, though.
