Triporteur Bom Brewery
Triporteur is a Belgian brewery that has managed to combine the most trashy and pop image of beer with a meticulous exaltation of raw materials: take a look at the labels while we tell you the story. But let's take a step back: Triporteur exists thanks to the creative mind of Bert Van Heck and his innovative project BOM – Belgian Original Maltbakery & Brewery. Who is Bert? An engineer and a master brewer, today an engineer who designs breweries worldwide. He started as a homebrewer and then trained professionally in world-renowned breweries like Orval and Rodenbach, like Boon, where he learned to make sours like St. Bernardus and Brooklyn, the first brewery to experiment with bottle re-fermentation. He began building modern and cutting-edge breweries first in Austin, Texas, where he reproduced the historic recipe of Pierre Celis' Blanche, and then in Franschhoek, South Africa, where he began to develop his Bom Brew project. What is BOM? In short, it is the beginning of a new brewing approach focused on malt: from the selection of thegrains, to oven cooking and cereal roasting, up to the delivery of the malt directly to the brewery. And guess what the delivery is made with? With the 'triporteur', the cart used in Belgium to deliver bread…
Triporteur is post-modern, breaking away from the hop trend, with that exaggerated and spasmodic addition of bitter notes in every recipe, and returns to talk about malt and the ancient Belgian brewing tradition. With his oven, Bert Van Heck roasts every single grain of cereal and within a maximum of 48 hours produces his beer, demonstrating that the freshness and fragrance of malt allows for a higher quality level in the glass. When the grain is oven-cooked at low temperatures, resulting in a rounder, softer, and lighter malt, an angel will always appear on the label. Conversely, when the grain is roasted at high temperatures and the malt is consequently darker and more intense in taste, a little devil will peek out.
If you happen to see a master brewer riding by a cart full of sacks of malt, greet him: it’s Bert, he will be the one to tell you his story!
