Bacchus Flemish Old Brown surprises with a taste reminiscent of wine and offers a beautiful balance between sweet and sour. This beer impresses through both its sourness and the slight touch of caramel brought by the roasted malt. However, its sourness is less pronounced than the sourness of other Flemish red-brown beers. Therefore, Bacchus Flemish Old Brown is a very refreshing beer with a pleasant aftertaste. A beer full of character and history!

Jacobins Foeder N? 17 is a lambic that has matured for no less than 6 years in an oak foeder, numbered 'XVII'. This 100% foeder beer underwent a sublime evolution of taste, thanks to the maturation process that played an active role throughout the years. A secondary fermentation followed after the bottling. The beer has a mildly acidic taste with notes of wood and red fruit, followed by a light aftertaste. The combination of spontaneous fermentation and refermentation in the bottle creates a beer with a unique flavor complexity that is also extremely balanced

Bourgogne des Flandres occupies a very special place in the Belgian beer landscape. It is a typical example of the Flemish beer blending tradition with old and young beer being mixed judiciously to achieve a perfect balance.

Bourgogne des Flandres Pure is brewed on site in the loft and blended with lambic from Timmermans Brewery. This lambic has aged for over eight months in wooden barrels. The result is a surprising red-brown beer with a low alcohol content and a very rich finish

Originally called "Ouden Tripel", this ancient beer has found a new ?lan as a regional specialty under its current name: "VanderGhinste Roodbruin".

The main ingredients of our Vanderghinste Roodbruin are malted barley, wheat, hops, water, and caramelized malts. These are used to brew a top-fermented beer.

Blending this beer with lambic beer aged in oak barrels for 18 months, results in this specific West Flanders Red-brown beer. Its typical flavour is characterized by a well-balanced, hardly noticeable sourness.

This first flavour impression is soon followed by a second pleasant discovery: a slight bitterness followed by a hint of sweetness.

At the World Beer Awards 2015 VanderGhinste Roodbruin is elected World's Best Dark Beer

5.5% ABV.

This complex red sour beer has been brewed in the style of West Flanders, Belgium.  Aged in large Oak Foeders for three years, a collection of wild yeast and bacteria go to work, slowly transforming the beer.  The result is a unique beer, with flavours of plum, prunes and red wine, layered on top of a mouth puckering sourness and a dry, oak finish.

FLANDERS RED

Mixed ferm red with blackberries and horopito.

This second batch of Brombees has spent around 18 months in the fermenter - inoculated with brett, lacto and pedio. 

In tertiary the beer spent 6 months on blackberries, finished with horopito at packaging. The horopito works to elevate the malt flavours in the beer as well as delivering its own herbal and spicy notes. Medium acidity allows the funk from the
brettanomyces to come through.

Oud Bruin, the traditional brown ale of Flemish Belgium, here painstakingly recreated and lovingly tended by Dave Bell, our Wild Workshop brewer.  Prolonged ageing in wood with a blend of yeasts and Lactobacillus creates a beer bursting wit dark sour cherry and dried fruit flavours, topped off with coffee and chocolate notes.  Dark and complex, a little bit like our Dave.  

Ask not for whom the Bell toils, he toils for thee.

7.7% ABV.

This complex brown sour beer was inspired by the traditional Oud Bruin styles of West Flanders, Belgium. Aged in a single large oak foudre (vat) for 5 Years, a collection of wild yeast and bacteria go to work, slowly transforming the beer. The result is a unique beer, with a chocolatey-malt base mixed with sherry, leather, tobacco and a hint of smoke. Lactic acid bacteria add a distinct tartness, and Brettanomyces provide that classic wild funk.

Desperate Glory is a sour brown ale inspired by Flanders Fields. The base beer is Three On A Match, a rich and complex Belgian Amber Ale with notes of dates, brown sugar and sweet spice. This spent a year resting in bourbon barrels to bring out rich oak and vanilla notes alongside a complex, funky tartness. We then carefully blended this with Chinese Keemun tea to add a light floral character with hints of tobacco and unsweetened cocoa.
