LeFort
LeFort is a complex, dark beer, 9% ABV, with sweet, fruity and soft notes. The pale and roasted dark barley malts provide a perfect balance. Add to that the pleasant aroma of chocolate and caramel and the fruitiness of the top fermentation, and you experience a dark beer with a truly unique taste.
It all started in 1892, when Remi Vander Ghinste bought a house with accompanying buildings from a brewer for his 23-year-old son, Omer. That same year, the first barrels of Ouden Tripel (now VanderGhinste Oud Bruin) rolled out across the cobblestones of Bellegem. Omer delivered his beers by horse and cart in the region of Kortrijk. As brands didn’t exist at that time, he gave the beers his own name: the “bieren Omer Vander Ghinste”.
