Pictures: Occupation of ‘t Parlement 2019

On Sunday 26th of May 2019, Belgium moved to the ballot box for the federal, Flemish and European elections. And we did another shovel on top of elections in Parliament (‘t Parlement) … from Halle. On our party list 13 beers of high fermentation, of smaller (Pajotse) breweries. And you could vote for the perfect coalition between a beer and a whiskey, 4 different in total. Voice forms, red pencils and (voice) advice were present! And yes, there was something to gain from us. 😉

Pictures: Visit Het Anker brewery & De Molenberg distillery

To celebrate that the Gouden Carolus Whiskey Infused beer won the consumer trophy at the Zythos Beer Festival two years in a row, we were invited to discover the whole story behind this beer on location on Saturday 30th of March 2019, in brewery Het Anker on the one hand, and afterwards in distillery De Molenberg. And yes, we certainly did not say no to that. 😉

Pictures: Tasting Low-alcoholic beers

February, the month of ToernĂ©e MinĂ©rale. The month in which many took up the challenge not to consume alcohol for a month… Did we participate? No! Or maybe a little bit, because at this tasting we put low alcoholic beers in the spotlight. Together we judged a dozen beers on color, smell, taste and aftertaste, and we looked at what so little alcohol did with our tasting experiences. And what turned out? Those present felt that this was not immediately worth repeating! If you taste blind (what De Lambikstoempers always do), you usually taste more intense. The general impression was that almost all the beers offered were somewhat ‘watery’ and the use of American hops (citrus / grapefruit) again took too much of the upper hand. According to all those present, the better beer was obviously the Schenenschopper of Hedonis (brewed at ‘t Verzet) or for those who love a stout, the Hello Darkness, My Old Friend of Brewery Angerik. General conclusion: next year we organize a tasting of ‘heavy alcoholic beers’ during ToernĂ©e MinĂ©rale. 😀
