14th of April 2018 we visited Craywinckelhof in Lubbeek, a beautifully restored and authentic square farm and a modern micro brewery, where not only their own KraaiKe beers, but also various beers for third parties are made, as well as their own jenevers, eau-de-vie’s, gin and whiskey is distilled.
Our guides were managing director Louis Schrevens and brewmaster Luc Pauwels.
And yes, it was fine, as you can see …

Craywinckelhof, a beautiful restaured and authentic square farm, is a modern micro-brewery with a lot of possibilities. In the brewery they not only brew their own strong “Hagelander”, KraaiKe, but they also brew on behalf of third parties.
But … when they reinstated the old brewery they went a but further. At the brewery is a ‘state-of-the-art’ distillery integrated. With this they distil their own ” jenever”, eau-de-vie’s, gin and whisky.
Because they like to show their craft and let us taste their products, they organise an exeptional visit at the brewery-distillery for De Lambikstoempers vzw.
Our guide is brew master Luc Pauwels. Luc teaches beer brewing and distilling at the CVO COOVI at Anderlecht, where he teaches the craft of brewing, practical as well as theoretical, to (future) microbrewers. Almost 30 years he occupies himself with the making and tasting of beer.
At brewery Craywinckelhof Luc helps manager Louis Schrevens, a former student of him, with the creation and pan out new recepes for third parties and they fine tune their own recepe.
Of course we also taste some creations! Probably another nice and interesting event …
Participation to the visit costs 12 euro (for Lambikstoemper members), 15 euro (for Zythos members) and 20 euro (for all others).

On the 22nd of December 2017, the Antwerpse Brouw Compagnie opened in a festive manner. A month later, De Lambikstoempers already visited the brewery!
Johan Van Dyck personally guided us and explained the unique process of beer brewing, the history of beer in Antwerp and in the brewery. Of course we tasted the beers afterwards: Seef, Bootjes Bier, Cadix and Nonkel Pater.
