Pipes & Barrels Release
Mark your calendars for June 8-11 and help us celebrate our newest collab release!
We have teamed up with Brouwerij De Leite in Oostkamp to create two amazing collaboration beers.
At its core, the beer is a blend of 70% De Leite Bon Homme and 30% Oud Beersel Lambic.
At Oud Beersel, we filled two pipes in early March 2021 with Bon Homme and topped them off with 30% Lambic. This blend then aged for 26 months until the barrels were recently emptied and bottled. Our blend is named “Pipes and Barrels.”
At Brouwerij De Leite, they followed the same process – filling a barrel with both Bon Homme and Oud Beersel Lambic at the same proportions.
Their blend is named “Barrels and Pipes.”
Both beers do an amazing job of showcasing the different effects that different barrels and expertise can have on aging.
