{"title":"Brouwerij De Dochter van de Korenaar","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrouwerij De Dochter van de Korenaar is in Baarle-Hertog, a Belgian village where the border with the Netherlands runs through streets and houses. Ronald Mengerink, a Dutchman, brews Belgian beers with American yeast there with his family: from hoppy session beers to barrel aged beers with a high alcohol percentage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--verhaal--\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Dutchman in a shared village\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Dochter van de Korenaar is in Baarle, a village that is split into Belgian and Dutch parts. The border runs across fields, roads and houses. Untappd places the brewery in Baarle-Hertog, on the Belgian side. It is the only brewery in the village: an independent producer run by Ronald Mengerink and his family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMengerink is Dutch himself, born in Eindhoven. He was a cook, sold olives, sausage and cheese, and built swimming pools. He met his wife Monique de Baat at a market in Oosterhout: he sold olives, she sold fruit. They have three children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe had brewed before. When he saw an influx of Belgian specialty beers in Groningen in the 1980s, he borrowed 50,000 guilders and opened Brouwerij De Noorderzon in 1984. That business failed. In 2004 the family moved for a second brewery project, which they saw as their last chance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBelgian beers with their own twist\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMengerink brews Belgian beers with French names and American yeast. His range is wide: hoppy session beers on one side, barrel aged experiments with a high alcohol percentage on the other. He doesn't fit in a box, just like the village where he is based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat matches what Belgian Smaak writes about him. In 1982 he dropped out of his studies after missing a geography exam by a tenth of a point and disagreeing with the teacher. He preferred to go his own way rather than follow rules he didn't stand behind. According to that same profile, he combines diverse influences into something of his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDe Dochter van de Korenaar at Hoptimaal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRight now you'll find one beer from the brewery with us: De Dochter van de Korenaar La Bock Brunello Barrel Aged, a 7% bock in 33 cl.
