't Hofbrouwerijke

't Hofbrouwerijke is a Belgian artisanal microbrewery based in Beerzel, in the province of Antwerp. It was founded by hobby brewer Jef Goetelen, who followed brewing school and began experimenting with new brews in 2001 at the Mol beer and wine guild. In 2005 he started his own artisanal brewery in Beerzel, initially still as a hobby, where he brews his own beers and contract beers that are unfiltered and unpasteurised. The brewery also offers enthusiasts the possibility to brew their own beer on site, with brews ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 litres. The brewery produces a wide range of mostly local beers on commission, alongside its own permanent range. Its core assortment includes Hoftrol (Farmhouse Ale, amber, 6.2%), Hofblues (stout, 5.5%), Hofelf (tripel, 7.5%), Blondelle (blond, 7%), Bosprotter (tripel, 8.5%), Hofnar (brown, 6.2%), Hofdraak (amber, 5.5%), Hof Weissen Widow (Berliner Weisse, 3.5%), Flower Sour (Sour Ale, 7%), and the Dungeon Keeper series of barrel-aged and infused beers. As a small artisanal operation, 't Hofbrouwerijke remains privately owned and focused on traditional, unfiltered and unpasteurised production. It is part of Belgium's rich beer culture and is listed among Belgian breweries and beer firms.
