Description
e huisbrouwerij bestaat reeds sinds september 1985. Toen in die tijd waren we de eerste ambachtelijke huisbrouwerij van de ganse Benelux. Dat was meteen een primeur!



Wat moet u zich nu juist bij een huisbrouwerij voorstellen? De naam zegt het eigenlijk zelf: een kleine brouwerij, rechtstreeks verbonden met een café. Of, als u wil, een café met zijn eigen brouwerijtje. De bierliefhebbers kunnen op die manier de alle bieren in optimale omstandigheden proeven.

Bij ons wordt er nog steeds met kleinschalige apparatuur ambachtelijke goede bieren gebrouwen, zonder enig additief. Momenteel zijn er drie verschillende bieren die worden gebrouwen in onze eigenste huisbrouwerij. De Con Domus en Nostra Domus kan men het ganse jaar door drinken. Daarbovenop bieden we ook nog een seizoensbier dat tevens voor wat afwisseling zorgt.

Smaken verschillen, maar één zaak hebben alle bieren van onze huisbrouwerij met elkaar gemeen: de liefde en het vakmanschap waarmee ze worden gebrouwen. Alleen de beste ingrediënten worden gebruikt en het brouwproces wordt niet geforceerd of versneld. Het bier krijgt de tijd om volgens de klassieke methodes te vergisten en te rijpen.



Natuurzuivere bieren zijn het resultaat. Via de pipeline lopen ze rechtstreeks van de brouwerij naar de toog in de brasserie. Daar worden ze in optimale omstandigheden getapt en geserveerd.

Tap @ 18de Kerstbierfestival, Essen 2012. Cuivrée/rubis, col fin beige. Arôme est fruité noirs, léger en épice - kruiden - le tout reste assez faiblard. Palais est moyen avec ce relent de fruits noirs, acétone ou alors possible trop d’épices. Profil reste très belge avec dans l’ensemble ce côté typique de malt carapils, dark fruité noir moyen.

15/XII/12 - on tap @ Kerstbierenfestival (Essen) - BB: n/a (2012-1363) Thanks to John for sharing the beer!

Clear deep red brown beer, aery off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: yeast, spices, something rotten, star anise, cloves, dirty. This smells pretty bad. MF: soft carbon, medium to light body. Taste: rotten fruits, jam, banana peel, yeasty, very unpleasant, completely off. This is really bad. I don't know what went wrong, but they should have taken this keg out of the system.

Zythos Bierfestival 2012, Leuven, Belgium. Poured up via wooden cask gravity feed with deep copper brown body supporting a nice tan colored head of foam. The aroma is very date and prune and fig like with maybe some toffee around the edges. The taste begins with Quad Abt 12 like flavors such as dates and earthy figs and then it moves into a bit of molasses. By midway extra yumminess just happens as rich deep earthiness and some chocolate join the other notes and takes this experience over the top. It is Quad meets English Style Barleywine and it is all soooo good. Love it!
