They use traditional copper Holstein stills and focus on craftsmanship, quality, and a short farm-to-bottle supply chain.

Originally, their main focus was on spirits like whisky, gin, vodka, and brandy, but having the equipment at hand (used to brew beer that would later be distilled) and being located in the Pajottenland made it logical to extend to brewing lambic in 2021, after installing a coolship. Beside traditionnal lambic, they also experiment with hybrid blends and their own barrels.
