Description
Two locals, whose grandparents were still working in the mine, developed the beers. The plan to brew on a large scale soon followed. The first liters of Kompel beer poured out of the tanks at Brouwerij Anders! Kompel Bovengronds was quickly successful and six months later Kompel Ondergronds came onto the market. Between the summer of 2015 and 2018, the beers were brewed at Kasteelbrouwerij Ter Dolen in Houthalen-Helchteren. Since 2019, the beers have been brewed on a larger scale at the Pilot Brewery in Lochristi.

Bottle from a Carrefour. Pours hazy red with a thin, off-white head. Straightforward aroma of cherry, strawberry, jam, red candy and some marzipan. It tastes medium to heavy fruity sweet and only very light sour; short finish with lingering sweetness. Light body, sticky texture, soft to flat carbonation. More like juice of squashed cherries, so disappointing.
