Project Description
The Verbeeck – Back Brewery has been around since the end of the 19th century, when it became one of the most beloved independent breweries in the northern region of Belgium. The brewery was, is and remains a family affair” no monks or big corporations in sight. The secrets of its successes were passed on from father to son until they became fathers themselves…and so on. However, the sons of the sixties-generation had other plans. In 1966, the brewery dozed off for a short nap.
In 2015, a new generation has risen and so has the brewery. The Verbeeck-Back family bloodline was reinforced by the DeCock family. Together, they have formed the formidable, reassuringly Belgian-sounding name Verbeeck – Back – DeCock. VBDCK. This new crop of VBDCK heirs to the family tradition of Belgian quality and craft has literally been digging up history by its roots.
They are ripping through the nostalgic silence with KEREL, the beer that says it all, and the transformation of the original brewery.
KEREL
BELGIAN WIT ALE
Meet the newest member of the KEREL family: Belgian Wit Ale. Our very own take on on the famous ‘Witbier’; spiced with lemon and coriander to add some fresh vibes and keep you well hydrated.
Taste:
Refreshing. A true beer for summer if we can so so ourselves. Delicate spice and a citrus smack that rolls with the pillowy softness of the wheat. A liquid hammock for your palate.

KEREL
SAISON
Everybody knows that if you want a great summer body, you need to work on it during winter. The same goes for this beer’s complex body of flavors. It is traditionally brewed during winter and savoured during spring / summer. It’s usually very fruity with deep earthy yeast tones and a mild tartness. The VBDCK version has all of that, plus a dry character and medium bitterness perfectly suited to bathing suit season and beyond.
Taste: This easy to love thirst quencher uses different kinds of hops and grains so you’ll discover new aspects of its flavor with every sip or swallow.

KEREL
STOUT
All stouts are dark and mysterious, but the VBDCK brewers deepen its typical roasted flavors even further by lightly hopping the brew or adding coffee or chocolate during the brewing process for a sweet mocha touch.
Taste: Deep, dark and rich with coffee and pure chocolate flavors, rounded off by modern hops.

KEREL
BIÈRE DE GARDE
The brewing process of a “Bière de Garde” (“Beer for keeping”) is an artisanal high-wire act because you’re looking for a brew that’s simultaneously rich and sinewy; clean and earthy; muscular and refreshing.
It’s a good thing Kerel has lots of experience combining muscles, beauty and a complex character.
Taste: Very malty, very high-maintenance but irresistible to the true beer connoisseur. Try it for the touch of caramel, stay for the complex character full of delicious paradoxes.
