I am OMER. Traditional Blond — a golden tribute to five generations of brewing mastery.

Born within the revered Bockor Brewery in Bellegem, I carry a name passed down like a sacred torch. Since 1892, each head brewer in the Vander Ghinste family has been named Omer — a lineage etched into the very architecture of our brewery, where stained-glass windows still bear the proud mark: Bières Omer Vander Ghinste.

Brewed with craftsmanship, knowledge, and patience, I am no ordinary blond. My soul is built on French malted barley from the Loire Valley, and I’m refined with a trio of aromatic hops from Germany, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic. Top-fermented and refermented in the bottle, I mature slowly over two months to become a strong blond ale (8% ABV) that’s smooth, fruity, and full-flavoured.

Pour me and you’ll see golden brilliance crowned with a velvety head. Expect delicate notes of lemon zest, hay, and stone fruit, balanced by a soft malt sweetness and a crisp, slightly bitter finish. I’m perfect as an apéritif or dinner companion — a beer born of tradition, served with pride.
