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 Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is caramel malt, yeasty notes, dried fruits, some toffee. A touch of liquor infusion but it's not overpowering. Medium sweet, light bitter, hint of alcohol. A decent Belgian Strong.
