About the new brewery: ?It is a 5-hectoliter mash tun and boiling kettle, and we have two 5-hectoliter fermenters,? Smedts remarked on a sunny Halloween day, 2013. ?In fact, as you see by the signs, we just started brewing on October 29th,? he added. ?Our first beer is a Blond of 6 degrees, called Witlov 6. Our next will be a Tripel of nine degrees, Witlov 9. The reason for the names is that our region is known for the growing of witloof (Belgian endive, also called chicory.) You can taste the Blond from the fermenter today if you like.?
