The idea for this project came to the trio of friends one evening while enjoying quality blended beers at the restaurant De Gebrande Winning, just after the first COVID-19 lockdown. While driving home the following day, Bram, Steven, and Wout began setting plans in motion. They started looking for a space and searching for quality fruits to source. Additionally, they took two lambic blending courses to ensure they would do things the proper way. On May 2022, the first macerations started.

The very first beers were presented to the public in June, 2023 during the Carnivale Brettanomyces festival in Amsterdam. The positive feedback received during the event encouraged the friends to grow WOFD into a commercial operation, allowing them to provide beers for as many enthusiasts as possible.

The philosophy behind WOFD Vergistingen is to produce fruity blends that are refreshing, but not too acidic. The beers are rather fruit forward and easy to drink, with the conviction that one should be able to enjoy multiple glasses on a sunny summer evening. The complexities should continually spark interest throughout the entire tasting process. These goals may be reached by using real fruits, as well as herbs and modern hops.
