Brouwerij Danny

Brouwerij Danny grew from Danny Hoffelinck’s long-running home-brewing passion into a small East Flemish brewery whose beers remain closely tied to their maker and place. Officially established in spring 2008, the brewery first brought Kwibus to market, then expanded its range while retaining a distinctly traditional approach: high fermentation, bottle conditioning and a focus on the four basic brewing ingredients. From hobby to brewery Danny Hoffelinck began brewing as a hobby and developed his skills through brewing courses, certificates and practical experimentation. After encouraging reactions from people around him, he commercialised his beer in 2008. The first fully developed beer was Kwibus, a name associated with a playful rascal or mischievous youngster. Production began in the garage at his home in Mere, where the available space was gradually adapted for brewing. A compact East Flemish identity Brouwerij Danny is based in the Erpe-Mere area and now brews in Oordegem. Its Kwibus range includes Blond, Donker and Tripel. The brewery describes Kwibus Tripel as a high-fermentation beer with a second fermentation in the bottle, made from water, malt, hops and yeast. Its documented profile combines fruitiness and spice from the grains with a dry, pleasantly bitter finish.
