WOFD (or rather "wofd") means 'head' in the Kortrijk dialect and refers to the primary fermentation that plays a crucial role in the lambic used for these wonderful fruity beers. And if you drink too much of it, the logo on the bottle (a head filled with bubbles) refers to the local saying: 'I have a head.' The names of the first beers are inspired by episodes of FC de Kampioenen, a locally famous comedy TV series on the VRT Belgian channel, and other comedy shows with comical episode titles will continue to be an inspiration for future beer names.

In general, the WOFD Vergistingen crew does not take themselves too seriously as it reflects in the name of the company, of the beers and in their social media posts. However, this does not mean that Bram, Steven and Wout do not take very seriously the level of quality that goes into their beers, as they aim to reach the highest standards possible.

The beers are poured at various events and are being released to people who have shown interest through a mailing list. Currently there is only one bar in Belgium that pours WOFD beers: Hops and More in Leuven.

For the future, WOFD Vergistingen will keep aiming at producing enjoyable lambics and the occasional (hybrid) blend with befriended blenders. The project will remain a small-scale operation as the blendery is a hobby that has gotten already a little bit out of hand according to them.
