FERMENTOR
CONDITIONING TANK
5
Fermentation. The fermentable sugars in the wort are consumed by yeast to produce ethanol, CO2 (which escapes the tank) and aroma compounds. Conventional breweries add yeast to ferment. Ales are fermented by the yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae at moderate temperatures (15-25°C). Lager beers are fermented by the yeast species Saccharomyces pastorianus at lower temperatures (8-18°C). Some Belgian brewers add no yeast, but instead allow the beer to be spontaneously fermented by micro-organisms present in the brewery, usually in fermenters and barrels.
6
Conditioning. After fermentation, the so called ‘green beer’ is allowed to mature for a couple of weeks to improve the taste. Lagers are kept at a very low temperature, anywhere from two weeks to several months.
10
PACKAGING
7
Packaging. Beer is usually filtered and put into bottles, cans or kegs. Beer can be carbonated in one of two ways. Carbon dioxide can be forcibly dissolved before packaging. Alternatively, a small amount of sugar and healthy yeast are added to the bottle. Sugars are fermented in the bottle and the CO2 is trapped inside. This process is called bottle refermentation or bottle conditioning and is very common for Belgian ales.

In 1545, Joos Roman established De Clocke, an inn with a small maltery and brewery. The inn was located in Mater, near Oudenaarde, next to a trade route linking Germany to France. Over time, other activities of the inn were abandoned in favour of brewing, which took a central role. The buildings that house today’s brewery were erected in 1930. Following WWII, Romy Pils was introduced to meet the public demand for German-type lager beers. In the 1980s, under the management of Louis Roman, the brewery expanded its range with specialty beers, including Sloeber (blond, 7.5% ABV), Adriaen Brouwer (brown, 5.0% ABV) and the Ename abbey beers (Pater, 5.5% ABV, Blond, 6.6% ABV, Dubbel, 6.6% ABV, Tripel, 8.5% ABV and Cuveé Rouge, 7.0% ABV). Additionally, the following beers are brewed by Roman: Roman Lager (ex Romy Pils, 5.0% ABV), Roman Blanche (ex Mater Witbier, 5.0% ABV), Gentse Strop (blond, 6.9% ABV) and Rebelse Strop (Brett, 6.9% ABV).

This Dubbel has a malty nose of caramel and milk chocolate aromas. The flavours are also malty, with bread and roasted notes alongside dried fruit and a touch of sweetness in the palate.

Brewery Van Honsebrouck (called Brewery Sint Jozef until 1955) was founded in the early 1900s by Emile Van Honsebrouck and his wife Louise De Poorter in the village of Ingelmunster. By 1953, Emile’s grandson, Luc, took over and began brewing specialty beers. Bacchus ale (Oud Bruin, 4.5% ABV) came first and was soon followed by a range of Lambic-based beers under the name of St. Louis. In 1980, Brigand (Tripel, 9.0% ABV), joined the assortment, followed by Kasteelbier, a strong sweet ale. The latter proved very successful, and the range was expanded to include Kasteelbier Blond (7.0% ABV), Donker (11.0% ABV), Rouge (fruit beer, 8.0% ABV), Tripel (11.0% ABV) and Hoppy (6.5% ABV). Since 2010, the brewery has been led by Xavier Van Honsebrouck, who further expanded the range to include Trignac XII (strong ale, 12.0% ABV), Passchendaele (blond 5.2% ABV), Filou (blond, 8.5% ABV), and Slurfke (Dubbel, 8.5% ABV), a beer that first appeared in a popular Flemish TV show.
TE
The nose is unmistakably cherries and red fruits, with some aromas of plums and Beaujolais. A mild acetic smell intensifies the fruit aromas. Its slight tartness and dry finish make this beer very refreshing.

Frank Boon, current owner of Brewery Boon, started his career as a Geuze blender in Halle in 1975. Three years later he acquired Geuze blendery De Vits in Lembeek, whose Geuze blending history dates back to 1680. This location quickly proved to be too small and Boon moved towards a more spacious location in the center of Lembeek where he built his own Lambic brewery, following the traditional production methods and style. Over the past decades, Brewery Boon established itself as one of the country’s best producers of different types of high-quality Geuze. It now produces different types of Lambic beers: Oude Geuze Boon (7.0% ABV), Geuze Marriage Parfait (8.0% ABV), Oude Geuze Boon Black Label (7.0% ABV), Faro Boon (5.0% ABV), Kriek Boon (4.0% ABV), Kriek Marriage Parfait (8.0% ABV), Oude Kriek Boon (6.5 % ABV) and Framboise Boon (5.0% ABV). The brewery also provides Lambic base beer to various other Geuze blenders around the country.
RS
Marzipan, fresh berries and fruit candy aromas. Delicate flavours of strawberries and maraschino cherries in the mouth. The acidity is very moderate.

Kevin Verstrepen is professor in Genetics and Genomics at Leuven University and Group Leader in Systems Biology at VIB (Flanders Institute for Biotechnology). He serves as director of the Leuven Institute for Beer Research and director of the VIB Center for Microbiology. He obtained his MSc and PhD in biological engineering at Leuven University and served as a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. Gerald Fink at M.I.T. In 2005, Verstrepen was appointed as Fellow and lecturer at Harvard University, where he led a team of researchers specialized in yeast genetics, whom he brought with him to Leuven after his appointment there in 2007. Miguel Roncoroni is originally from Argentina and studied biotechnology in the U.S. He obtained his MSc And PhD from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, where, in between cycling and surfing, he studied the genetics of yeast applied to winemaking. To prove that wine before beer does not make you feel queer, he moved to Belgium, where he has been researching the composition and diversity of Belgian beer in Kevin’s lab at the KU Leuven, as well as in the pub.
