In this conversation, recorded for the Craft Beer & Brewing Podcast, managing director Werner Van Obberghen muses about growing pains, the impact of COVID, the next generation, refocusing on craft malt, and going organic.
Notably, a few weeks after this conversation, 3 Fonteinen’s longtime brewer and master blender Armand Debelder died after a long battle with illness. Now, Van Obberghen, brewer Michaël Blancquaert, and their colleagues aim to carry Debelder’s vision and legacy forward.
