Angelo and Erik, two brothers-in-law with a passion for beer, started a small-scale hobby brewery in 1997. That love of brewing clearly rubbed off on Erik’s son, Sam De Cuyper. He gave the brewery a professional boost and today brews a surprising range of both top-fermented and bottom-fermented beers. Since 2021, this has also included their own lambic: the distinctive Cuvée Kluysbosch.

Story
Angelo and Erik didn’t have to search long for a name: Angerik is simply a combination of their first names. What began in 1997 as a hobby project grew into a small craft brewery. In 2015, Sam, Erik’s son, took over the brewing kettles and breathed new life into the brewery.
The beer ‘Boerke’ was renamed ‘Dilleke’, a nod to Dilbeek, and for the beer ‘Record’, Sam uses an old local hop variety. In addition to these two top-fermented beers, he also brews a craft bottom-fermented lager: Jaak. And since 2021, Sam has been successfully experimenting with spontaneous fermentation. His Cuvée Kluysbosch is a characterful lambic, which he matures in Bordeaux barrels, whisky casks and various other foeders.
