Changes

So, when I was asked by Mr Vandervelden and Danny Draps to help them in the supply of malt and hops, I did it. I supplied spare parts for the brewery, etc.. When in 1996 the 1938 bottling machine crashedin1996, they asked me to bottle the beer for them. All the "Oud Beersel" bottles with a champagne-cork and a wire were bottled at Boon Brewery. Since 1997 I supplied cherries , and when in during a to too warm summer the Oud Beersel Lambic was to too acid, we blended mostly with 1/3 Boon Lambic and 2/3 of Oud Beersel. This is not so strange: all Geuzestekers blend different Lambics to obtain a well balanced Geuze. For this purpose, I brewed every year 2 or 4 Lambicbrews in the "Oud Beersel" style. I was surprised that 2002 November 26 Danny closed the brewery ànd the café. I had a blend of 240 HL ready for bottling at my brewery. In Beersel there was a stock of 300 HL. Danny asked me to buy the rest of his beer to blend it in Oude Geuze Boon, wich I could not accept. I made an agreement with him, bought the rest of the lambic with the labels and the brand. This way, it was possible to bottle all the remaining beer under the "Oud Beersel" label. An agreement was made with "Drie Fonteinen" to supply the locals. I brewed 4 more brews in the "Oud Beersel" style to blend with their old stock. This Lambic is fermenting in wooden "Foudres" at 3Fonteinen.
