BREWERY INFO
OmerWhen Omer Vander Ghinste started brewing in 1892 in the beautiful West-Flemish village of Bellegem, brand names did not yet exist. He promoted his beers by placing stained glasswindows with the words “Beers Omer Vander Ghinste” in the front windows of the pubs. As these windows were very expensive, it was no option to replace them at every change of generation. Therefore every firstborn son was baptised ‘Omer’. A smart move, with an unexpected effect. A tradition that is still kept alive today, 130 years and 5 generations later.

Omer Vander Ghinste - Belgium

"Originally called "Ouden Tripel", this ancient beer has found a new élan as a regional specialty under its current name: "VanderGhinste Roodbruin".

The main ingredients of our Vanderghinste Roodbruin are malted barley, wheat, hops, water, and caramelized malts. These are used to brew a top-fermented beer.

Blending this beer with lambic beer aged in oak barrels for 18 months, results in this specific West Flanders Red-brown beer. Its typical flavour is characterized by a well-balanced, hardly noticeable sourness.

This first flavour impression is soon followed by a second pleasant discovery: a slight bitterness followed by a hint of sweetness.

At the World Beer Awards 2015 VanderGhinste Roodbruin is elected World's Best Dark Beer!"
