"The Gueuze Tilquin à l’ancienne (7.0% alc / vol) is a spontaneous fermentation beer obtained from the blending of 1, 2 and 3 years old lambics. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, it is re-fermented in the bottle for a minimum period of 6 months. The lambics used were fermented and matured in our own oak barrels at the blendery. They are made from worts brewed by Boon, Lindemans, Girardin and Cantillon. The taste is tart and dry but has a certain roundness that makes this Gueuze à l’ancienne particularly accessible for non-experts. It will also delight fans of the genre for its sweet complexity. It also has a slight dry bitterness because of the youth of the oak barrels used, as they still release some tannins. It has a fresh lemony nose."

Hard graf made of 50% rustic sasion and 50% apple juice that co fermented in a foeder for several months and then dry hopped with Citra

"This beer is created by adding green walnuts to beer that was aged on wooden barrels for at least one year. We picked the nuts in july last year in the garden of a friend. They were harvested when they were still greeen before the wooden shell started to appear. The young fruit gives a herbal, nutty aroma to the beer. The subtle bitterness balances the fresh sourness of the Oud Bruin. Go nuts and try this interesting infusion."

Quince lambic obtained by maturing1000 kg fresh local quince (Cydonia Oblonga) on 1500 liters of lambic for more than a year.

"Our Old style Kriek is a marvel of pure craftmanship. Made with 100% home grown organic cherries, straight from the Pajottenland, the surrounding area which we call home. The entire cherries are fermented in oaken barrels in lambic beer of at least one year old. After six months this transforms into Old Kriek with about 400 grams of cherries per liter of beer. Because of the second fermentation in the bottle, which carbonates the beer, you obtain a delicately soft taste and the distinctive foam head. A true delight for all senses with an harmonious balance between sweet and sour."

"Blackcurrant, well known for its use in cassis, match perfectly with lambic. A recurring theme in our fruit beers is matching a fruit that is both sweet and sour with lambic, to complement its distinct aroma and character. Because of the blackcurrant, this beer has a particular soft purple shine. The berries are grown by ourselves, fully organic, and are added to the beer whole. As usual, the lambic is at least one year old. Together they ferment again for about four months on oaken barrels to create a beer with 125 grams of fruit per liter of beer. Another fermentation on the bottle yields a refreshing, sweet and sour finish filled with delicious blackcurrant aroma."

"Ruby in colour with hot pink foam, this beer looks as good as it tastes. Blueberries and vanilla notes dominate and act as a counterbalance to the tart notes from our house mixed fermentation base that’s been maturing in an ex-red wine foeder for 6 months."

Wheat Beer aged 4 months in a foeder and infused with a massive quantity of apricots

"The second edition of our dry-hopped red beer, Clomp. This blend was made from two brews produced in May 2019 and June 2020. Fermentation took place in red Bordeaux barrels for three and two years respectively. The rich red beer benefitted from a fairly long time in barrel to build the acidity and tannin required to balance the sweetness of the malts. To enhance the bright fruit aromatics present in the base beer, the finished blend was dry-hopped with whole-leaf US grown Chinook, from the latest harvest. The finished beer conditioned in bottle for a (relatively) brief four months before release, to allow enjoyment of the fresh the hop aromatics. As with all our dry-hopped beers, these aromatics will evolve quite dramatically over time."

"Glass is our series of beers characterised by a delicate minerally flavour, fresh kettle-hop aroma, and the addition of sea salt in the blending tank. This is our third iteration. In February, April and August 2020 we produced extra pale, minerally worts, with fresh East Kent Goldings hops. The fresh hops add wonderful aromatics (quite distinct from dry hop character) as well as acting to restrain the acidity produced in the wild fermentation. We made a blend from the four most delicate tasting barrels and added a touch of Cornish sea salt into the blending tank to give a crisp finish."

"This old authentic lambic is brewed according to an age-old tradition. Brewed with dedication and craftmanship in the Senne Valley. The fermentation and maturation took place in the heart of Brussels just above the Senne (in the cellars of the Saint-Gérys Halls). A maceration of 450g of local strawberries per liter of lambic gives this beer its typical nose and taste. Enjoy, to the fullest, Cheers!"

Blend of BA Golden Sour ales

Barrel aged sour imperial stout, with organic local apricots.

Barrel aged sour imperial stout with local sour cherries.

"Coolshipped and spontaneously fermented beer in an oak barrel for 16 months and aged further on organic local sour cherries for 12 months. In this one I am trying to capture the unique essence of one day into a beer and imprint of local terroir and layering the hand picked organic sour cherries from a local orchard. Multiple varieties of organic cherries give a really complex expression of the fruit and prolonged aging make for a deep, rich flavour. The backbone of a beer is built on local organic barley malt and raw organic spelt from the local Hare Krishna community, where they live and function in a low intervention and organic way for the last 3 decades."
