Tim Roettiger, owner and brewer at Belgian Mare Brewery named his brewery after the Belgian mare, Aggie, that can be seen outside his home in Alstead.
The basis for the design of Roettiger’s brewery is a gravity-fed process that goes back to Medieval tower breweries. The Brewery has carved a rugged niche into the craft brew scene. Living on a historical farm in Cheshire county of southwest NH, Tim Roettiger uses a wood fired oven to cook his brews “the old fashion way.”
He has been perfecting his recipes for almost a decade in preparation to launching his 3 barrel brewery. Distribution is only in 22 oz. bottles — you will find both year-round and seasonal offerings from this great brewery.
Roettiger says, “Belgian Mare Brewery beers are very traditional bottle-conditioned ales, which is new to most people. Bottle conditioning involves less control and more art. The last fermentation happens inside the bottle, which provides carbonation and the last bit of flavor.”
