Description
Alvinne is a 1200hl microbrewery in Flanders, Belgium. It has become an official brewery in 2004 and is located in the village of Moen, at the edge of the Mortagne touristic area and in the area where the historic breweries of the old Flemish Brown beerstyle are situated.
Their own yeast strain is called ‘Morpheus’ and was the reason to start experimenting with mixed fermentation, resulting in sour ales. Alvinne’s main mission is now to create innovative sour beers through a new style of Flemish blond sours by using the mixed fermentation method. You could call it the missing link between Oud Bruin and Lambic. Because of this, Alvinne has gained international attention and respect.
We already experimented with over 30 different kinds of fruits, herbs, plants, berries, flowers and vegetables. Next to the sour range, Alvinne has an interesting beer list that were aged on carefully selected used barrels, such as Cognac, Porto, Sherry, Calvados, Brandy, Red Wine and White Wine. Since 2018, we have started our own Membership “Alvinne’s Fellowship Of Exceptional Ales” to give our core fans the priority to get hands on our very exclusive and limited beers.

Bottle from Gedeelde Vreugde. Clear brown-red, small, foamy, tan head. Aroma of malt vinegar, cherries, cinnamon, fruit cake, brambleberry, jam, wood, red vermouth, cookie spices. Taste has sour cherry, blackcurrant and redcurrant in a jam-like, almondy malt body, surrounded by funky malt vinegar, spicy cinnamon & clove, touch of juniper too. Tart woody tannins of cherry pit in the finish, some herbal hops and spicy gin-like alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. 'Oud Bruin' with a twist, very classy!

Backlog October 2013. Amber body under a decent, dense off-white head. Aroma has malt and dry fruit, gives a sweet impression with an alcoholic touch. Taste is actually sweet with rich malt, dry fruit, acidic berries, caramel and warming alcohol. Fine body with long lasting aftertaste. It’s actually very nice and I’m glad I had the opportunity to enjoy a few more of this after this first rating session.
