Leave a comment

… on our Beer Weekend!

De Troch Oude Kriek
That’s right: brewer Pauwel of the De Troch Brewery (Wambeek) once again made an Old Kriek with more than 35% of Schaarbeekse sour cherries, at the request of his new American importer.

(For those who still remember it, the last ‘De Troch Oude Kriek’ dates back to the 80s!)

And now there is a new one. And we may serve it, on 29-30th of August 2015, at our Beer Weekend in the Visitors Centre ‘De Lambiek’ (Alsemberg). And that’s where YOU can taste it!  🙂

De Troch Oude Kriek

A large proportion (one third to be exact) will be exported directly to the United States, the rest will be distributed domestically but also in (the rest of) abroad. In total just over 40 hl is made, with lambic from March 2014, all bottled in 37.5 cl bottles.

Did you know since 2008 they use fresh (Schaarbeekse) sour cherries again at De Troch? In the Chapeau Kriek these are still getting mixed with cherry juice. Why don’t you come and taste them both next to each other, at our Beer Weekend: 29-30th of August at ‘De Lambiek’ in Alsemberg. We will welcome you there with a glass of … Oude Kriek De Troch, for example.

The blending of our Lambooske 2015 occurred on Friday 7th of August, with 30 liters of Lindemans Lambic (+/- 1 year old) and 9 kg of fresh (autumn) raspberries .

Until the start of our Beer Weekend this beer gets the time to macerate and ferment in a barrel.

Our beer list is gradually reaching its final form. A few orders and negotiations enter their final phase. The visitors centre ‘De Lambiek’ is getting into shape. De Lambikstoempers will conquer the museum of the Oude Geuze for the 2nd time on 29th and 30th of August 2015.

Our first time in ‘De Lambiek’ last year had some practical difficulties. This year is our ambition to do better. After thorough evaluation within the board and together with the Municipality of Beersel we hope to serve our customers even better. On 29th and 30th of August from 2 pm you are all welcome in the visitors centre ‘De Lambiek’ in the Gemeenveldstraat, Alsemberg.

Beers in the spotlight

This past year, there have been some very interesting projects in our region. Two new breweries in the territory of Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, one new brewery in Brussels. These make us decide to place the non-lambic-brewing breweries from our region in the spotlight. Belgoo in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, 4Pajot in Vlezenbeek, En Stoemelings in Brussels are the new achievements and all active as we speak.

Brussels Beer Project is working hard in Brussels and hope to install a new brewery in the Dansaertstraat. De La Senne, Den Herberg and Angerik are our established values.

New beers

Besides our beers in the spotlight, we propose a beer list of 60 or so beers. The past year was one of many novelties. The beer landscape is constantly changing. We therefore present you some of these novelties, plus well established and some innovative beers.

How about a beer filled in aluminum ‘bottles’, or a beer perfumed with Calvados? A beer with pumpkins, an oak aged brown beer with cherries, an IPA with organic hops , and so on.

Spontaneous fermentation

Every corner of our beer country gets attention. In the coming weeks you can follow our beer list closely. Moreover, and to ancient custom, we also have a large Lambic Bar where many lambic beers can be (re)tasted. Some new creations frow Lindemans Brewery and our Cuvée Lambikstoemper (2.5 years in the bottle already) are waiting to be tasted and evaluated.

The result is a beer list of about 100 beers! We sincerely hope to welcome you in the beautiful visitors centre ‘De Lambiek’, 29th and / or 30th of August 2015.
