HenkeBier

A little under a decade ago, my journey with wild beers started. I was trying all kinds of beerstyles before I discovered geuze. At first I had to get used to the specific taste, but the process and the tradition concerning that style intrigued me a lot. I visited Brussels a couple of times and tried all there was to try, and really started to appreciate the intense and complex tastes and aroma’s these spontaneously fermented beers could incorporate. Back then I was a pretty active homebrewer, but it didn’t come to mind to try and brew something similar. Not for long though. Fast forward a couple of years, I started distributing my blends. Ever since I started doing so, I’ve been looking for a way to create something that reminds me of these spontaneous beers, but not to mimic or reproduce them. I have a lot of respect for the lambic tradition, it’s a style on it’s own. I’ve been looking to create something of my own. Something unique, something with identity, with history and with a character that reminds me of the spontaneous fermented beers I really love.
