Brouwerij Alvinne

We consider the wood the barrel is made from to be an active ingredient in our beer. It releases a range of complex flavours created by the liquid the barrel previously contained (usually wine) and slowly allows oxygen to enter the beer. Alvinne is a pioneer of barrel aged beers in Europe, a tradition that used to be common practice ages ago.
Our beer is matured in a beautiful collection of unique wine barrels , some originating from Sauterne, Banyuls etc. We also use Sherry and Calvados barrels.
For our Flemish Sour Ales, we have a collection of 5 foeders, including one mega foeder with a 60 hl capacity. This last one is the pride of the brewery and also the foeder that features in our logo.
