Brouwland Beer Competition – the 2 winning beers have been chosen!

The 2 winning beers have been chosen!

An international jury chose the 2 winning beers from a selection of 15 beers nominated by our jury at the Brussels Beer Challenge, which took place from 30 October to 1 November 2021.

Several tripels and IPAs were nominated, yet in the end 2 other beer styles scooped up the awards...

And the winning beers are...

‘Karakterkop’ by Kristof Braekers

 A smooth, aromatic farmhouse ale!

‘Fraline’ by Ludo Van Even

A Berliner Weisse packed with raspberry. Lots and lots of raspberries! Ludo uses no less than 2 kg of raspberries for every 20 litres of beer. A very smart move, as it turns out!

What’s next?

► The 2 winning beers will now be brewed in collaboration with beer company Elcano, so you can enjoy an aromatic ‘Karakterkop’ or fruity ‘Fraline’ in the comfort of your home as from early 2022. Yum!

►  Even better: you decide which beer we’ll be bringing to market a second time! Make sure you keep a close eye on our ‘Fan Choice Award’ on  Facebook and Instagram.
