Beer
Wildeman is een old beer from Maasland, traditionally brewed with parts dark malt and spelled malt. The beer obtains its fine, wine-like aroma by adding approx. 8% in oak barrels matured Lambiek, as was traditional for the old stock beers. This dark beer is brewed for Bokrijk based on century-old taste-determining traditions according to a recipe from brewer Frank Boon. Starting April 2019, you can discover all you ever wanted to know about traditional beer brewing in the museum brewery ’t Paenhuys. Wildeman beer plays a prominent role in our menu and is delicious with our beef stew.
