Brouwerij Kestemont
Microbrewery

Belgium 🇧🇪
Associated Venue: Brouwerij Kestemont
Established in 2022
Brouwerij Goossens was tot 1967 een van de vele aanwezige brouwerijen in Dilbeek en omgeving, waarvan de eerste bronnen teruggaan tot 1767. Verschillende van de huidige gebouwen staan op de Ferraris kaarten van de lage landen. Na bijna 25 jaren leegstand werden de gebouwen overgekocht van de familie Goossens door Frans Appelmans en Yvette Mary, die begonnen aan een stevige renovatie. Op een boogscheut van deze prachtige site kan je verschillende voormalige brouwerijen terugvinden, zoals Brouwerij De Neve, Eylenbosch en het Spanuit.
In 2016 wordt de volledige site aangekocht door de familie Kestemont, geboren en getogen Pajotten. Drie jaren later wordt er begonnen met lambik te steken op eiken vaten. In 2021 wordt er een brouwzaal ingericht om de eerste brouwsels zelfgebrouwen lambik te maken. Na een halve eeuw afwezigheid kunnen we opnieuw de geur van afkoelende wort in de straten van Pede ruiken en zo een deel streekgeschiedenis in ere herstellen. Vast wat Brueghel rook tijdens het schilderen van de oude molen en kapel van Pede zo'n 400 jaar geleden, op wandelafstand van de brouwerij.

Poured from a 375 ml bottle with a Lot date of 20220801. Aroma has a medium light green grape notes with hints of stone fruit and lemon. A touch of a yogurt note as well. Light grain notes and a bit of oak. Medium light earthy, herbal funkiness with a touch of grape must. Hints of alcohol. Pours a slightly hazy, golden orange color with a medium large, moderately thick, frothy white head that recedes quickly and disappears. No lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with a medium light acidity and light grain notes. Low bitterness and light alcohol notes. Hints of oak. Moderate green grape notes with a bit of mustiness. Hints of lemon and under ripe apricots. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid lambic from a brewery I had not tried before. Nice grape notes in aroma and flavor with complimentary fruity notes from the fermentation. A decent amount of funk without being overly acidic.
