Description
LOC Brewery brews quirky, craft beers that are a voyage of discovery for the taste senses. It is our ambition to conquer the world with this. LOC Brewery wants to experiment with flavours, herbs, fruit and even let beers mature in wooden barrels.

LOC Brewery is an initiative of Roy Maas (he left in 2018), Erwin Schellekens, Daniel Tano and Paul Cools. The four know each other because their children were in the same class, so they met in the schoolyard. In December 2014, LOC Brewery started brewing small amounts of beer. Since then, brewing has accelerated to meet the demand from tastings and events. The first beer was launched in June 2015.

8 4 8 2 17 33 cl bottle @ home. Poured in a big Mikkeller glass, but not big enough as an enormous light brown head forms on top of a pitch black beer. The recedes pretty quickly after which the rest of the bottle can be added. Aroma’s of roasted malts, chocolate, some red fruit, lactose sweetness. Retronasal it’s sweet, roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, light lactose and red fruit. Flavor is above moderate sweet, roasted. Fairly strong alcohol feel. Carbonation is on the high side, but oh well. Medium bodied. Finishes with strong roast, coffee-ish, moderate bitter. Good stuff.

Draught @ Tilburg Bierfestival 2017. Presumably 16-18%. Clear dark orange to reddish color, medium to full sized off-white to beige head. Smell and taste are both grainy, alcohol, oranges, sweetish initially but heavy bitter in the finish. Damn heavy shit. Tastes like more than 16% ABV. Phew. 6-3-7-3-14.

330 ml. bottle @ home. BBF 23/03/2019. Hazy orange, uneven collapsing big bubble white head. Nose is very murky tropical fruit hops with low messy yeast, something stale, doesn’t entirely come together. Strongly bitter mango peel, heavily bitter, lots of tropical hop, grapefruit peel, bit murky,... Carbonation is very soft, makes it seem some body, very strongly bitter,... Murky brew. It has a lot of good elements going on but they don’t entirely come together, feels like it needs a minor tweak & it will get a lot better. Far better than what usually comes out of the Vandeoirsprong brewery. I like it but I think that it can be better.
