Beers
What type of beers do you have?
Our range consists of two types: lambic beers Eylenbosch and specialty beers Patience for Eylenbosch. More info on the beers can be found under ‘our beers‘.
Where does the name 'Patience for Eylenbosch' come from?
Good beer requires love, craftsmanship… and patience. That most certainly is true for Old Gueuze and Kriek. The first lambic was brewed in April 2019 and immediately started maturing in oak barrels, but tasting the Eylenbosch Oude,Gueuze and Kriek was only possible after years of patience, in January 2021 when the first production was ready. In the meantime, Eylenbosch could of course not be a brewery without beer. Therefore, awaiting our lambic beers, we brewed specialty beers of top fermentation, with the appropriate name “Patience for Eylenbosch”.
How long can you store the lambic beers?
The storage period of our Oude Gueuze, Oude Kriek and Schaarbeekse Oude Kriek is 10 years. The taste evolves over the years.
Our Wild Blond has a storage period of 5 years and our Oude Lambiek has a storage period of 7 years.
How long can you store the Patience for Eylenbosch beers?
Onze Patience for Eylenbosch has a storage period of 2 years
Which hops are used in your beers?
We only use 100% Belgian-grown hops. More info on the hops used can be found under ‘our beers‘.
What is the best way to store the lambic beers?
The lambic beers are best stored in a cool dark place.
The Patience for Eylenbosch beers are best stored upright
The lambic beers can be stored lying down and if you want to keep them for a long time (more than 2 years), this is also recommended. Otherwise, it is best to put them upright.
Note! If you store the lambic beers lying down, it is best to put them upright a few days before opening so that the yeast can settle at the bottom.
What is the best way to pour your beers?
The Patience beers and the lambic beers are best poured in one go. Always try to ensure that as little yeast as possible enters your glass. This is not unhealthy but can affect the taste.
Therefore, always put the lambic beers upright a few days before opening, or use a pouring basket.
