The longing for an ever more bitter beer grew. The French word for bitter is ‘amère’, and thus ‘Ma Mère Speciale’ joined the legion. This beer is dedicated to the mother of brewer Luc. 3 carefully selected and neatly dosed malts are paired with 7 fine hops. The golden-bitter ‘mother’ is according to the brewer ‘unbitterable’.

Brewer- owner Luc Vermeersch is fascinated by old handicrafts. It can therefore not come as a surprise that he installed a bread oven and a small brewery in his garden house. He purchased the 30-litre microbrewery in 1997 in Finland. The manufacturer gave him a training course of exactly one weekend. Thanks to much self-study and by making numerous small test batches, both his knowledge of, and his interest for brewing, grew. After 10 years’ brewing experience he enlisted for a brewery course. During his tuition year, he forged plans for a larger brewery and he started purchasing parts of the installation in various places. In April 2008 Brewery De Leite was a fact.
