About
Baarle's beer brewed in the traditional way. The brewery was founded in 2007 by Monique and Ronald Mengerink. Behind their house in the Pastoor de Katerstraat they built a brewing installation with six 1000 liter lager tanks. Due to the growing success the brewing kettles moved to Gierlestraat in 2014. In January 2017, the brewery moved again to a new location in the Oordeelsestraat. With their third expansion in ten years Ronald and Monique are able to increase the capacity of the brewery to 50 hectoliters per brew and 100 hectoliters per day.

330mL bottle, pours a deep dark amber-tinged brown with a small beige head. Aroma has gentle, tart cranberry and a touch of wild yeast. Flavour has some rustic peppery notes, tart cranberry, some gin, and some dry woodiness. Quite peppery, not particularly fruity. It’s decent, but I’m finding little to love.

375mL bottle from Sterk. Pours murky dark brown with white head. Gentle wild yeast and dark cherries on the nose; a touch of cinnamon. Flavour has peppery yeast, gin botanicals, dark cherry pits, some cinnamon from the cherry skins. Not terribly sour with a ton of dark cherry character. It's okay, I don't necessarily love how it comes together, but it's still pretty solid.

1 March 2025. At Winter Belgian Beer Geek Gathering. Many thanks to hosting, Tim & Marina, and cheers to the whole crew!
Dust, old plum, apple sauce, pear. Sweetish apple & pear, bitter citrus peel, cake. Bitter resinous hops, bit harsh, grapefruit & brown soap. Bit boozy jenever alcohol. Fizzy carbonation. Somewhat out of balance, I think it had more potential.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is loads of tart cranberries upfront. More red berries, malt, hint of balsamic vinegar, touch of oak. Strong tart flavour, medium sour with a little sweetness. Lovely tart cranberry.

Op tap bij In de Wildeman. Mistig goudamber kleur, witte kraag. Amandel, boterig maar niet op een slechte manier, vanille, oude koekjes, de Maibock is nog zeker aanwezig, licht fruitig, hout, vatrijping geeft het bier wel echt iets extra's, hint van kokos, licht herbaal/harsig jeneverbes-achtig. Lichte tot medium body.
