Description
Brouwerij Frontaal is ontstaan in 2015 na een jarenlange zoektocht naar de verschillende smaken & aroma's in al bestaande bieren. We hebben ons vervolgens het vak van brouwen zelf aangeleerd, veel ervaringen opgedaan bij bestaande brouwerijen en zich verdiept in de vele literatuur.

Wij zijn een brouwerij die staat voor innovatie, balans, creativiteit maar ook zeker voor transparantie (op de helderheid van sommige bieren na). Dit komt allemaal terug in de smaak van het bier, de etiketten maar ook zeker door de manier van handelen door de brouwerij.

We brouwen ons bier volgens de slogan "Beer for Thought". Hiermee doelen we op het creëren van smaken, kleuren en geuren in het bier, wat de drinker aanzet tot denken waar dit door ontstaan is. Naast dat er op zoek gegaan wordt naar de uitwerking van de ingrediënten zou men ook kunnen denken bij welk gerecht het bier lekker bij is of bij welk moment het goed past.

We hopen jullie mee te kunnen nemen in ons gedachtegoed, en dat de bieren mogen smaken.

13 September 2025. At 17de Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to the whole crew!

From the Stacks stand. Murky 'appelblauwzeegroen', no head. Banana slushie, blueberry, lime, kiwi, yoghurt. Sweet banana, sour blueberry, yoghurt. Very thick slushie texture. Very very weird, but it works in a gimmicky way, and it drew all the eyes when going around at the festival.
