De Struise

The “Struise” concept is based on creativity, innovation, quality, sustainablility and friendship. They started their journey into the beerworld anno 2001. It all started at De Noordhoek, an ostrich farm amidst the fields of Lo-Reninge. Theirame an old-style wheat beer. “Struise” is taken from Flemish slang for ostrich. Their coat of arms therefore portrays a proud ostrich surrounded by a knight’s helmet, shield and feathers.
In 2003 they decided to go commercial with their latest creation, a Belgian Dark Strong Ale called Pannepot. At that time they didn’t have their own equipment so started at the Coulier Brewery and later at the nearby Deca Brewery in Woesten. They moved to a charming old school in Oostvleteren in 2009, where they have been brewing their beers independently since 2012.
