I’ve trying to find out what the hell this is, asked Joris to look into it as well. This just may be an actual new brewery and someone in NYC may be the first to rate it.

Wondering the same thing, I’d bet $5 saying this actually comes out of Huyghe.

Importer has little to do with who actually brews it, Wetten brings in the DT, Global brings in Mongozo and Merchant Du Vin used to bring in Duinen; all 3 brands are brewed at Huyghe.

it is in NY now, distributed locally by the fine folks at SKI. I have a few bottles but haven’t tried either yet.

Sh*t, I forgot to report back to you. If it is brewed today, it must be by Huyghe indeed. The brewery in mentioned as such in the website, never saw the day of light. As they say in the website, they wanted to start (last year already) in an historical site in old Gent. Unfortunately, they never got the licenses and permissions to start there, and the building is still empty.
Since then - but I haven’t had time to look into that - they must have turned to contract brewing. My immediate reaction was to think about Van Steenberge, which I asked on a forum. For some unfathomable reason, that incited a very rude answer from a Van Steenberge representant, and I’m afraid I forgot the whole business, feeling the ol’ feathers ruffled a bit.
Anyway, that’s how far I got, sorry.
