Overview
History
An idea is born (2019)
As geuze enthusiasts, we began by purchasing lambic from various brewers to create our own geuze. After some positive experiences (and a few missteps), our hobby grew from a few bottles to several crates. An idea was born…
After some discussion, we, Pieter-Jan, Erik, Bastiaan & Jean-Pierre, decided to turn our plans into action. Together, we formed a powerful team with the perfect blend of knowledge and skills to create a new geuze. In short, a top team with a mission.
The idea was to create a geuze consisting of lambics from different breweries to achieve a unique taste. After discussion and some tastings, our idea took shape: combining lambic from Brouwerij Den Herberg, De Troch, and Lindemans.
It begins, the first location (2020)
At the end of 2019, our search for a storage location began, and after some wild ideas, we ended up in Jean-Pierre’s garage on Halleweg. Of course, that space wasn’t immediately suitable for our plan. We first had to build a wall to create a separate area for the FAVV.
Thus, the first step was taken amidst the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. After cleaning up, masonry work, insulation, and painting, we finally had an ideal place to store our barrels and get started.
