Enjoy the ‘Best of beer in Flanders’
As with most Lambic breweries, the origin of brewery " De Troch" can be retraced to a farm. The history of this brewery even dates back to 1795. It is located in rural Wambeek (near Ternat) and is still housed in a stately farmstead. The equipment has hardly changed through the years and is a jewel of archaeological industry. Back in 1984 this brewery caused quite a stir in the Geuze blending industry by being the first to market an exotic beer. They introduced a Lambic beer with banana flavour and one with mango flavour. At a later stage other flavours were added to the range, i.e.: strawberry, lemon, peach, plum and apricot. These exotic beers were given the name "Chapeau" and today they make up the main part of the production output. Besides these beers the company also blends Kriek (cherry beer) and old Geuze beer. The "Oude Geuze Chapeau Cuvée" was one of the first products to be awarded the label "streekproduct.be" by the VLAM (the Flemish centre for the promotion of agricultural and fisheries' products).
