The Leireken beers are ‘bio’ beers - Bieres Biologiques or ‘bio-dynamic’ beers.  This is an approach to brewing that takes organic production one step further.  In organic production, each stage of the preparation of the organic beer is scrutinised to ensure that it does not involve chemicals, artificial ingredients, or processes that one could argue are not completely natural.  Organic beers are brewed to be as natural as is feasibly possible.  Bio beers take this one step further.  With the bio approach to brewing, all aspects of the breweries operations are considered to ensure that the impact on the environment is minimized.  It is the organic approach extended to everything that goes on around the brewing of the beer as well.  A worthy philosophy, and one that imposes challenges on the brewer to brew beer to a high standard, while working within more disciplined constraints than those faced by other brewers.
The Leireken beers take the eccentricities of their beers one step further – they work with ingredients that are, in normal brewing terms, not standard ingredients for beers.  All beers are brewed with some form of grain – malted barley being the mainstay of most brewing operations, but other grains and adjuncts commonly used would include wheat, barley, corn, rice and maize.  Spelt and Buckwheat – two grains used in the brewing of our two Leireken beers – one would have to say are not commonly used in brewing.  This makes them perfect ingredients for the artistic palate of the eccentric brewer.  The fact that both spelt and buckwheat require less fertilizer makes them particularly attractive as ingredients for the brewer who is committed to the bio-dynamic approach to brewing
