A Night of Belgian Bière Sampling with Vanberg & DeWulf

2013-05-16T01:48:30Z

Thursday, May 23rd from 5pm to 8pm Vanberg & DeWulf is an import company specializing in Belgian beers. It was established in 1982. The company was formed by Donald Feinberg at the end of a three-year stay in Belgium. In 1990 his wife, Wendy Littlefield, joined him in the business. Considered pioneers in bringing Belgian beer styles to the American market, Vanberg & DeWulf introduced American beer lovers to Duvel, Rodenbach, Rodenbach Grand Cru, Affligem abbey beers, Frank Boon’s lambics (gueuze, kriek, framboise, faro and Mariage Parfait), and Blanche de Bruges wit beer. ”Vanberg” is a Flemicized version of Feinberg, and “DeWulf” was the family name of a Belgian friend who provided an introduction to Ben Gevaert, then export manager for Duvel.

J. Tom Field, local Vanberg & DeWulf representative, will be in-house pouring samples of the following:
Scaldis Cuvée Des Trolls Belgian Blonde Ale ABV 7%
Scaldis Prestige Wood Aged Vintage Ale ABV 13%
DuPont Avril Bières de Table ABV 3.5%
Vicaris Tripel ABV 8.5%
Vicaris Tripel-Gueuze ABV 7%

We will be also be tapping a keg of Scaldis Pêche Mel and all of the beers will be available for purchase ‘to go’. Please join us for this wonderful opportunity to educate your palate and taste some rarities, old favorites and newly available brews from one of our most reputable importers.
