About
Brouwerij Louwaege, ook Brouwerij Akila of Brouwerij Hapkin genoemd, was een Belgische familiebrouwerij in de West-Vlaamse gemeente Kortemark, die in 1877 werd opgericht en vijf generaties lang tot 2002 bestond.

Het bedrijfsterrein van 7.500 m² omvatte een brouwerij, een brouwershuis, een brouwtoren, ateliers en opslagruimten. In 2002 werd de brouwerij door het brouwersconcern Alken-Maes overgenomen en vervolgens gesloten. Van het bierenassortiment werden alleen de merken Hapkin en later ook Thouroutenaere behouden.

4.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4
Sold for only $ 0,30 a bottle in Pede Drinks Market in St Lievens Houtem. Slight hay and apple aroma. medium bodied, grainy, sweetish, but where is the flavor? I can only detect the slightest hint of licorice. Bland and forgettable.

Stout from Brouwerij Louwaege

6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6
Old-fashioned sweet stout, of the type nobody in Flanders still appreciates, tasted at café De Gans; made by Louwaege when it was still in existence and tasted as old beer (4 years old). Thin but dense, beige head, near black colour with ruby hue. Candied fruits in the nose, some faint coffee (with milk), candi syrup; sweet taste, candi-like, chocolatey, soft and slick, sourish touch, weak roasted bitterness in the end. Very good for its style.

(Bottle 33 cl) Black as coffee with a huge, frothy head. Very sweet, sticky stout with some notes of caramel and candi sugars And perhaps something slightly lactic in the finish. Not an easy beer. 120498

Louwaeges Export from Brouwerij Louwaege

3.8/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 4 Flavor 3 Texture 4 Overall 4
(Bottle 33 cl) Pale golden with a small, white head that vanishes completely. A lightly sweetish malt in the nose, some malt in the flavour and a very discreet bitterness in the finish. Incredibly light-bodied with a LOT of CO2. Surprising that this old-fashioned pilsener style has survived the Alken-Maes takeover of Louwaege. I wonder for how long, but am sad to say that it wouldn’t really be any great loss. 120605

GB Special Blond from Brouwerij Louwaege

3.8/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 3 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4
(Bottle 33 cl) Pilsener golden with a slight haze. The head comes floating out as soon as you uncap this - a very lively carbonation. Strangely the head vanishes completely in the glass without a trace of it ever being there. No scent to speak of. Pronounced yeasty flavours and a rather unpleasant prickly bitterness in the finish. But in between those two points nothing much happens. Supermarket brands aren’t necessarily poor, but this one was. Very uninteresting blond ale. 100605
