About
In 1994 Nino Bacelle decides - after a lot of experimental brews - that he is ready to bring his own beer to the market. It’s the start of Brewery Nino Bacelle. In 1995 Nino meets Guido Devos through the beer tasters association HOP. Guido is a founding member of HOP and has been active as an amateur brewer for years. Nino and Guido decide to pool resources and knowledge and hereby “Brewery Nino Bacelle“ turns into Brewery De Ranke. This name refers to the vines on which the main ingredient for beer grows: hops. The beers are brewed at the Deca Brewery
In 2005, after 11 years of brewing at Brewery Deca, Nino and Guido decide to start their own brewery in Dottenijs.

(Draft at Nüetnigenough, Brussels, 19 Sep 2025) Golden colour, slightly hazy, with frothy white head. Hoppy nose with notes of citrus, herbs, bread and grass. Hoppy, malty taste with bread, citrus, herbs, grain and a fresh, balanced herbal/grassy bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Hoppy, well balanced and harmonious, with a really fresh herbal hop character. Very nice.

Bottle from HOTM. Hazy amber with a large but diminishing off-white head. A hint of banana and some dust. Very bready and yeasty. Quite bitter for a Belgian brew; just a touch of spice in the aftertaste. I didn't particularly enjoy this.

Bottle at home, 13th December 2025. Pours a watery thin dark brown colour. Aroma is chocolate and coffee, roasted malts. Taste is bitter, coffee and cocoa, some De Ranke character comes through. Nice enough
