Description
De bieren van ‘Brouwerij Vagebond‘ zijn sinds 2011 op de markt. Een Vagebond, synoniem voor een landloper of een zwerver, is al decennia verbonden met Merksplas en Wortel.
Tot in 1993 werden ze hier opgevangen, jaar waarin de wet op de landloperij werd afgeschaft en deze mensen, nagenoeg van de één op de andere dag, op straat stonden.
Als hobbybrouwers hebben we destijds bewust gekozen voor de naam “Brouwerij Vagebond”. Op onze etiketten staat dan ook te lezen:
“De Belgische Wet tegen de Landloperij werd in 1866 gestemd en in 1891 verfijnd.
Wie op straat kwam zonder pas of onvoldoende geld om een brood te kopen,
vloog als landloper naar de gevangenis van Merksplas of Wortel.
Deze wet werd in 1993 afgeschaft, omdat arm zijn geen misdaad is.”
