‘The seasonal brewery ‘Vandewalle’ in Lo-Reninge is a young company that can build on its strong family tradition from back in the 18th century; 1756 to be more specific. After being out of business for a while, the seasonal brewery with its brewer Chris Vandewalle continues its long tradition. The remarkable regional materials, the exquisite expertise and skilled labour, nature’s influence, time and an extensive historical past give shape to the creation of the beers in the well-known Westhoek region. Production, typical thinning (‘Oud Bruin’) and creation of high fermented cherry-infused beer all take place in this small peculiar brewery. Exquisite regional materials, such as the hop from Poperinge, are used. Unique, exclusive and seasonal beers are the result of the limited production because of the small-scale of the brewery (4 HL/per day). The beers have been awarded the quality label ‘Belgische hop’ and have also received the recognition ‘100 % West-Vlaams’, a piece of evidence that confirms the quality of the products.’

Reninge Bitter Blond

High fermentation beer with a positive taste evolution because of the refermentation in the bottle. Handcrafted beer based on natural ingredients: water, barley malt, hop from Poperinge (40%) and live yeast. This beer is brewed using three different flavours of bitter hop and has an unmistakable fresh taste. Unfiltered and unpasteurised. Preserve the beer upright in a cool and dark place, preferably with a steady temperature of 4-6 °C. Pour out slowly in a dry and neat glass.

1910. In a small town called Lo, brewer Verlende is brewing his own bitter beer. On hot days during the hay season and the harvest, this beer was an enjoyable refreshment for the many seasonal workers in the valley of de IJzer. Nowadays, the seasonal brewery continues this tradition. The remarkable regional materials, the exquisite expertise and skilled labour, nature’s influence, time and an extensive historical past give shape to the creation of this splendid bitter blond beer in the well-known Westhoek region.
