(Woesten-Vleteren, BELGIUM) – A new beer ships from Belgium this winter.

At first glance, this looks like a Struise label without a Shelton Brothers stamp on it. Hmmm….but John Vanloo of San Francisco-based Waterloo Beverages LLC clears that up:

“We gave the assignment to develop & manufacture their Westoek Ale – 6% ABV at the Deca Brewery. As this was a very complex recipe to deal with, Deca asked Urbain Coutteau, world-renown brew master at Struise to collaborate on this project.

Our first batch, which is very limited, will arrive in January next year. It will be 20l kegs and 11oz bottles.”
