Porter is [...] Zythos Bierfestival 2012 ABV: 9% De Dochter van de Korenaar Peated Oak Aged Embrasse, Zythos Bierfestival, Leuven 2012 De Dochter van de Korenaar (‘the ear of corn’s daughter’, a poetic expression for beer) is a Belgian brewery, but only just. It was founded by a former home brewer, Ronald Mengerink, originally from Groningen in [...] Zythos Bierfestival 2012 ABV: 5.5% Brouwerij en stekerij 3 Fonteinen, Beersel, Vlaams-Brabant, België The simplest way to make an acidic young lambic palatable is to bung sugar in it, and in the past this was probably the most common way of drinking lambic in its heartland in and around Brussels.
