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.

Towering ultra dense and fine, just yellowish head over lively carbonated copperish orange/golden beer. Fresh herbs, weeds and leaves, fresh hop; toasted malts, grains' bread, bananapeel. Bitter, hoppy, straw, grassy. Again weeds/herbs, fresh; none agressive. Honey can be traced if searched for. Refreshing, well-carbonated, light body, and very drinkable. Surprisingly good, yet simple. Better than the sum of its parts.
