The company was built on the foundations of the renowned [[Eylenbosch_(Huizingen)|Eylenbosch Brewery,]] which closed its doors in Huizingen in 1965. The Dutch word "Boerenerf" translates to "Farmstead," a nod to the old family farm where the original brewery began, which has been in the Eylenbosch family for generations. Today, the traditions continue in the old stables, where lambic and gueuze beers mature in barrels. | ||
Boerenerf uniquely combines the traditional craft of lambic blending with winemaking, skillfully merging tradition with innovation. This results in a diverse range of surprising blends of lambic, gueuze, cider, fruit beers, wines, and mead, all made with grapes from our own winery. At Boerenerf, three core values are central: Quality, Tradition, and Innovation. Year after year, Senne strives to blend authentic traditions with innovative and refreshing flavors. In this pursuit, centuries-old fermentation techniques are honored and preserved, resulting in surprising and unforgettable tastes. | Boerenerf uniquely combines the traditional craft of lambic blending with winemaking, skillfully merging tradition with innovation.

Boerenerf is a blending facility | Boerenerf is a blending facility which receives lambic wort from 5 different lambic brewers: [[Brouwerij_3_Fonteinen|3 Fonteinen]], [[Brouwerij_De_Troch|De Troch]], [[Brouwerij_Lindemans|Lindemans]], [[Den_Herberg|Den Herberg,]] and Angerik. The first lambic to be barreled was brewed at 3 Fonteinen in April 2020, forming the bulk of the first fruit lambic release in 2021. De Troch and Lindemans began supplying lambic wort in 2021, and Den Herberg and Angerik joined in 2022. | ||
Currently there is no in-house brewing installation. The first two batches of lambic were bottled manually on the farm, but since the 2022-23 season, Boerenerf has used an automatic bottling line. The number of barrels grew rapidly from 25 in 2021, to around 80 in 2022, with a total capacity of about 25,000 L. | Currently there is no in-house brewing installation.
