Rosé de Gambrinus Aalten-Voogd
Excellent sour cherry kriek. Excellent second choice. Made the pilgrimage worthwhile (Brussels traffic has not improved!) But feels like a hollow experience drinking on my own.

Oude Geuze Dekoninck Aalten-Voogd
Lovely no-nonsense geuze. Quiet day at home, reading, pottering, tidying up. Blowy & wet outside. From Huisvandegeuze I think. 2023-01-14.

Oude Geuze Boon à l'Ancienne - VAT 108 Mono Blend Aalten-Voogd
Birthday treat to myself, one of the pre-Brexit Huisvandegeuze order. Brilliant! Funky, softly sour, every sip a delight. Tackling the fab jazz quartet Lego set (Xmas pressie from Ness). Dreary wet day outside.

Devilishly tasty. Dark, malty, raisins. Quiet Sunday in. 2022-06-26.

Kriek Mariage Parfait Aalten-Voogd
Better than a fine wine, just heaven. How kriek should be. In the background, our portrait by Shelley. Huisvandegeuze order, before Brexit f@%&*# everything up. 2022-05-22.

Geuze Mariage Parfait Aalten-Voogd
Molo excellentissimo! Finished all the "bières du quartier" so now time to crack open this stunner (2017). Nosh an eclectic array of things needing to be eaten (sprotfilets, preskop, smelly fromage, focaccia). Lovely week, flown by. 2022-05-20.

Great depth. Much time spent sorting stuff out - rehearsing notes for Lancaster, video for D&K, BCCB library, now finally getting to playing some music, but first a beer! 2022-02-13.

Geuze Mariage Parfait Aalten-Voogd
Chilled on the terrace, even if today didn't quite go according to plan. All set for tomorrow's return trip. Superb geuze. 2021-09-19.

Een geslaagde en gezellige verjaardag met Mama *thuis*. Welkom biertje, nog steeds een favoriet, na een smakelijke caldeirada van Luis. 1/8/2021.

Delicious, a fave. Not on a pedestal at all here, a simple €2.50 bottle from Delhaize, yet such a rare thing in Brexitstan now. 29/7/2021.

Brought Mama home, even if it was only for a few hours it felt like a Blues Bros. moment (putting the band (family) together again.) Tired but happy. 30/7/2021.

Every time I come back to geuze I remember why this is my favourite beer style, and Boon a particularly good example. Also reminds me of those TransPennine Express railway journeys. Funky, bretty. Huisvandegeuze. 23/4/2021.

Superb! Vinous, sour in a great way, well aged. Was worried it might have been corked but turned out to be spectacular. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here! 19/12/20.

Oude Geuze Dekoninck Aalten-Voogd
Another small dent in the geuze stockpile. Soft sour, fruity, light funkiness, pleasant at TQH after a day of work & a lovely beach walk in crisp cold clear weather. Huisvandegeuze. 25/11/20.

Love geuze & even though Boon is part of large brewery (Palm, which I also have a liking for), this is one of my all-time faves. Perfect gentle sourness, winey & bretty. Happy memories of these on Transpennine train trips back from Manchester. 12/11/20.
