Description
Vleesmeester Brewery saw the light in 2010, when 3 friends –after years of frequenting beer festivals- decided to make their own beers. We bought ourselves a starter kit, and so it began. Some people in our surroundings wondered what we were doing in the kitchen and wanted to come take a look. Whilst crushing the malt they thought we were grinding it in a meat mill. So they started calling us “Vleesmeester” which means meatmaster in Dutch. From then on we called ourselves “Vleesmeester Brewery”, a lay-outer and friend of ours made a logo, and “Vleesmeester Brewery” was born. Fascinated by the less known beers out of the craft beer scene we started experimenting. Our preference went to hoppy beers and our firstborns were mostly IPA’s and Russian Imperial Stouts. One better than the other, by trial and error. Along the way, the people, who weren’t into hoppy beers at first, started to find appreciation for what we were doing. In 2014 the guys from the Antwerp based band “Your Highness” asked us to make a beer to serve at the release of their album, this beer became “Hoogheid”.

Bottle thnx! to Kev/ Vleesmeester / Verbalessence Pours Very nice , warm , glowing blonde . head is white , and average to small . Scent is bitter, some sweet aspects to ( honey almost comes to mind, but it’s just that bit different ) High , but not too high carbo . Taste is completely different than the scent , and I actually prefer the taste . Hoppy, bitter and aromatic , simcoe-style ( not sure if its actually simcoe though, it just taste in that direction ) Aromatic side is a bit too faded for my taste , but I can definetly see others enjoying this . Bitterness is a bit more up front , which makes this quite a tasty IPA . A bit dry in the finish . Carbonation is High , yet not ( thank god ) Too high . Belgians usually suck in that aspect ... As I understand ( ? ) This is his first commercially brewed beer , and it is def a good one ! makes me curious for what more is to come !
