Brouwateljee + Malterfakker
Lubbeek, Belgium
Who? Steven Bollion is an adventurous and fun brewer and bar owner in Lubbeek, barely fifteen minutes from ‘Gobsmack HQ’ Leuven. He used to run the M Café in Leuven, and now we like to work with him for his own brews. Steven makes Belgian classics such as tripels and wheat beer under the Brouwateljee brand, but Malterfakker is where he starts experimenting.
Why us? Steven has been on his travels with us for many years. Both his traditional beers such as tripel, blond or wheat beer that he brews at Brouwateljee, and his more adventurous beers – especially the stouts – at Malterfakker are always fun to follow.
Kristof’s favorite beer: “Vesalius, a 7% kriek beer with real Schaerbeek cherries. That fruit adds so much freshness to a brown ale, while traditionally it is a heavy-handed style.”
Joos’ favorite beer: “For me it’s the whole Spacelord range of imperial stouts. There are already quite a few variants, but the slightly spicy touch of the Habanero Heaven is extra special and delicious.”
