Pictures: Visit Alvinne brewery

On Saturday 20th of October 2018 we went towards Alvinne brewery with De Lambikstoempers vzw. It is located in the Belgian town of Moen and exists since 2004. Production volume is increasing to 1,500 hl per year, of which 1,000 hl is meant for export. They produce more than 30 different beers. Their storage consists of 10 lager tanks for young beer and fruit bearing, 5 foeders and 100 wine barrels and they have their own bottling line. The brewery also has a cozy tasting room with a view of the brewery. And we will have known that, because the tasters passed by in large numbers!

For the 11th time already De Lambikstoempers vzw and Boelekewis were … Zot van Geuze! (“Crazy about Gueuze!”) 🙂 Time and place of the event: 6 October 2018 (from 2 pm to 6 pm) at Boelekewis in Huizingen. On offer: lots of spontaneous fermentation beers in tasters’ glasses. Old Geuze, Old Kriek, fruit beers based on lambic, lambic from the barrel (from 3 Fonteinen, Den Herberg, Brett-Elle and Oud Beersel!), “Special tasters” and so on. And yes, the sun was there too!

Pictures: Tasting Whisky & Beer

What do beer and whisky have in common? Zythologist Yannick de Cocquéau explained us the differences and similarities between beer and whiskey on Friday 21th of September 2018. And of course we tasted beer – whether or not enriched with (an infusion of) whisky – and whisky. Yes, we even blended it ourselves! In short: another separate but very successful / pleasant / interesting test evening! 😉
