Wild Gene bier Koen Vanmechelen_Genk_Mine Dalemans  (35 van 35).jpg

Wild Gene is brewed by Brouwerij Anders in Halen (BE) and inspired on the work of artist Koen Vanmechelen

Wild Gene is a Belgian blonde beer that uses clas­sic malts and a touch of sorghum — one of the oldest grains which gives this beer a unique, earthy flavor. While the Sorghum represents the Wild Gene, the true magic lies in the hops. A global mix of European Hallertau Blanc, African Southern Passion, Oceanic Pacific Sunrise, American Strata, and Asian Sorachi Ace that create a balanced, fruity profile.

 

The beer is dry-hopped to preserve the aromatic qualities, resulting in a fresh and fragrant beer with layers of complexity. It’s a per­fect fusion of the old and the new, re­flecting the ongoing evolution of craft brewing and celebrating the wild and untamed.

We wanted to honor Belgian tradition while reflecting Koen Vanmechelen’s philosophy. The result is a unique Cosmopolitan Belgian Blonde in which tradition meets a Wild Gene
