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.

Clear blond appearance with lasting thin head. Aroma is quite typical of many an alcohol free beer, a bit stale. Taste is better though. There's a fresh zesty element to it. Decent mouthfeel too.

Troebel goudgeel bier met stevig schuim. Smaak is bitterzoet en licht kruidig met iets van banaan, wat passievrucht en sinaasappel. Heel verradelijk maar geweldig goed bier.
