About Brouwerij De Dolle Brouwers

It started with a cycling club. De Dolle Dravers: two Herteleer brothers and two friends who knew every hill in West Flanders, and every café on top of it. After three years of brewing in a copper washtub over a wood fire, they bought an empty brewery in Esen. On 15 November 1980 the first Oerbier was brewed, and De Dolle Brouwers, the mad brewers, were born. The building is older than the madness: Dr Louis Nevejan founded a brewery and distillery here in 1835, and the Costenoble family brewed here for three generations. Our copper coolship from 1921 is still in use. We still brew the stubborn way: coolship, open fermentation, hops from Poperinge, unfiltered, unpasteurised, refermented in the bottle. No hurry. Oerbier (9%), dark, seven malts. Arabier (8%), blond and bitter. Boskeun, the Easter beer with honey. Dulle Teve (10%), our tripel. Stille Nacht (12%), our prestige Christmas beer, voted best Christmas beer at the OBER festival time after time. Export Stout, brewed because Guinness said no to our American importer. Oeral, only on tap in the Oerbar. And the Reservas, aged in wine barrels. Every label is drawn by Kris Herteleer, architect, artist and brewer. Taproom open Sat and Sun 2-7 pm, brewery tour every Sunday (2 pm English, 3 pm Dutch). www.dedollebrouwers.be Nat en straf. Wet and strong.
