Biggles Brews

producer of high quality belgian ales, mostly in the oud bruin and flanders red tradition. the definition of a great oud bruin is a brown ale brewed in the flemish region. the dutch name refers to the long aging process, up to a year. it undergoes a secondary fermentation, which takes several weeks to a month, and is followed by bottle aging for several more months. the extended aging allows residual yeast and bacteria to develop a sour flavor characteristic for this style. while some examples of an oud bruin may be aged in oak, typical beers in this style are not, and this is what helps flanders brown ales distinguish themselves from the more sour flanders red ales.
