Flanders Oud Bruin
You have actually had a beer from Brouwerij Liefmans recently. It was under a different name – Ommegang Zuur. Zuur was a collaboration between Liefmans and the Cooperstown, New York Brewery. Zuur contained a specialty blend of some of Liefmans signature beers. Founded in 1679, Liefmans creates blended beers, originally meant to preserve the beer in the winter prior to refrigeration. The beers were/and still are brewed, and matured for close to 2 years. Before bottling, the beer is blended with young, sweet beer to freshen the beer. Goudenband is the flagship example of this technique.
The three bottles to the left have been out of the market for a while (or not sold in the U.S. at all until now.) Three titles have just appeared –
