Boerenerf is an organic farm and distillery on the Sollenberg, an old hamlet in Beersel. Senne Eylenbosch and Vincent Alluin do not brew themselves, but guide the brewing process and winemaking to help them reach their full potential. “Everything that falls between lambic and wine matures here,” they say. Boerenerf uses fruit grown on the farm or sourced directly from the fruit grower.

Story
Boerenerf’s range is exceptionally varied, from beers to wines and everything in between. Take Symbiose, for example, a delicate blend of cider, lambic and mead. Or Alsacien, a plum wine macerated with young and old lambic. They also bottle their own Oude Geuze and Oude Kriek, and age creations in cognac, calvados or armagnac casks for extra depth.
Senne Eylenbosch – a scion of a well-known brewing family – and Vincent Alluin take a fresh and unconventional approach to the lambic tradition. Their philosophy? “You can only guide the brews and wines to become their very best.” That true magic lies in every unique cask. They work with fruit grown on their own land or sourced directly from fruit growers, and with grapes from various wine regions such as Alsace. Their own cherry orchard comprises some 200 trees.
