Louis Willems (1822-1907) or Dokter Willems, is a hero in his and my hometown, Hasselt.
(Actually; with knowledge of history being what is, most Hasselaars will only know his name from the street named after him...)
Anyway. Being one of the first to scientifically describe the immunity principle, he is considered to be one of the founders of bacteriology and immunology.
In jenever* city Hasselt, Dokter Willems is mainly remembered because used the new method of vaccination to save the local livestock (an important 'byproduct' of the jenever industry) from the bovine disease.
He has well deserved a street named after him and a statue between the library and the wonderful Jenevermuseum.
Jenever , also known as genièvre, genever, peket, or in the English-speaking world as Dutch gin or Hollands (archaic: Holland gin or Geneva gin), is the juniper-flavored national and traditional liquor of theNetherlands and Belgium, from which gin evolved. Traditional jenever is still very popular in the Netherlands, Belgium and nearby French and German regions. The European Union regulations specify that only liquor made in these two countries, two northern French departments and two German federal states can use the name jenever/genever/genièvre.
per-flavored national and traditional liquor of theNetherlands and Belgium, from which gin evolved.Traditional jenever is still very popular in the Netherlands, Belgium and nearby French and German regions. The European Union regulations specify that only liquor made in these two countries, two northern French departments and two German federal states can use the name jenever/genever/genièvre.
Jenever was originally produced by distilling malt wine (moutwijn in Dutch) to 50% ABV. Because the resulting spirit was not palatable due to the lack of refined distilling techniques (only the pot still was available), herbs were added to mask the flavour.The juniper berry, jeneverbes in Dutch (which comes from the Latin Juniperus), hence the name jenever (and the English namegin), was used for its alleged medicinal benefits.
There is a tradition that attributes jenever as an invention by the Dutch chemist and alchemist Franciscus Sylvius de Bouve, it was first sold as a medicine in the late 16th century. The problem with this theory is that Dr. Sylvius was born in the 17th century and that during his fourteen-year tenure as a professor at the University of Leiden, his research included distilling medicines with juniper berry oil, but none of his research papers contain any reference to jenever. The dates also do not add up: Dr. Sylvius certainly was not the first to distil with juniper or call a concoction jenever, as proven by written references to jenever in 13th century Bruges, Flanders (Der Naturen Bloeme) and 16th century Antwerp, Flanders (Een Constelijck Distileerboec). The latter contains the first printed jenever recipe.
Additionally, in 1606 the Dutch had already levied taxes on jenever and similar liquors which were sold as alcoholic drinks, suggesting that jenever had stopped being seen as a medicinal remedy many years before Dr. Sylvius was even born. Genever’s prevalence can also be observed in Philip Massinger’s 1623 play, “The Duke of Milan”, which references “geneva”. Geneva was the Anglicized name for jenever, which British soldiers had brought back with them upon returning from battle in the Low Countries in 1587 and again during the early 1600s. Dr. Sylvius would have been just nine years old when Massinger’s play opened. So while the legend of Dr. Sylvius’s “medicine” may be more myth than fact, it has become the tale most people know.
The Nationaal Jenevermuseum Hasselt, Belgium claims unequivocally that jenever was created in the lowlands of Flanders in the thirteenth century. Their assertion is given credence by commentary in 'Jenever in de Lage Landen' by author Prof. Dr. Eric Van Schoonenberghe.
There are two types of jenever: oude (old) and jonge (young). This is not a matter of aging, but of distilling techniques. Around 1900, it became possible to distil a high-grade type of alcohol almost neutral in taste, independent of the origin of the spirit. A worldwide tendency for a lighter and less dominant taste, as well as lower prices, led to the development of blended whisky in Great Britain, and in the Netherlands to Jonge Jenever. During the Great War, lack of imported cereals, and hence malt, forced the promotion of this blend. Alcohol derived from molasses from the sugar beet industry was used as an alternative to grain spirit. People started using the termoude for the old-style jenever, and jonge for the new style, which contains more grain instead of malt and can even contain plain sugar-based alcohol. In modern times, jenever distilled from grain and malt only is labelled Graanjenever. Jonge jenever can contain 'no more than' 15% malt wine and 10 grams of sugar per litre. Oude jenever must contain 'at least' 15% malt wine, but no more than 20 g of sugar per litre. Korenwijn (grain wine) is a drink very similar to the 18th century style jenever, and is often matured for a few years in an oak cask; it contains from 51% to 70% malt wine and up to 20 g/l of sugar.
Although the name oude jenever does not necessarily mean that the jenever is in fact old, there are some distilleries that claim that their jenever is aged in oak barrels.
Hasselt in Belgium, and Schiedam, Groningen, Amsterdam and Delft in the Netherlands, are well known for their jenevers and often referred to as "jenever cities" (jeneversteden). In Amsterdam, jenever is made by Van Wees and Wynand Fockink. Well-known Schiedam jenever distilleries include Nolet, Onder De Boompjes, Pit and De Kuyper. Near the Dutch-Belgian border, inBaarle-Nassau, Zuidam produces traditional jenevers and Dutch liquors. Other jenever-cities in the Netherlands are Groningen(Hooghoudt) and Dordrecht (Rutte). In Belgium, Deinze is very well known for the Filliers distillery and Aalst is well known forStokerij De Moor, Belgium's smallest distillery and with the Biercée Distillery, one of only two Belgian distilleries to export their genever to the USA.
Dutch-based Lucas Bols produces and sells oude genever, known as ginebra in Spanish, in South America. Ketel One is now more known for producing vodka, but started out as, and still is, a jenever distillery.
Traditionally the drink is served in a tulip-shaped glass filled to the brim. Jonge jenever, colloquially a jonkie ("young'un"), at room temperature, sometimes, though this is now quite old fashioned, with some sugar and a tiny spoon to stir. The drink is sometimes served cold from a bottle kept in a freezer or on the rocks (jonge met ijs). The higher-quality oude jenever (and korenwijn) is usually served at room temperature. When jenever is drunk with beer (normally lager) as a chaser, it is referred to as akopstoot (headbutt) or duikboot (submarine) in Flanders. Traditionally, jenever is served in full shot glasses taken directly from the freezer. As the glass is very cold it is advisable to take the first sips without holding the glass, leaving it on the table and bending one's back to apply one's mouth to the glass.

Opnieuw gemaakte/aangebrachte reclame voor Locomotief jenever in de Hoogstraat in Schiedam. Distilleerderij Melchers is opgericht in 1837 en bestaat nog steeds, maar is verhuisd naar Soest. Hun vroegere pand in Schiedam is tegenwoordig het jenevermuseum.
Opgelet, alcohol kan het gezichtsvermogen beïnvloeden.
Fijne jaarwisseling en een mooie focus op 2015.

Het Nationaal Jenevermuseum Schiedam bevindt zich sinds 1996 in een voormalige moutwijnbranderij en distilleerderij De Locomotief aan de Lange Haven 74-76 in de Zuid-Hollandse stad Schiedam, de stad die bekend werd als jeneverhoofdstad van de wereld. Daarnaast de havenkerk, een rijksmonument.
28/12/2014; Maybe it's time for a law that states that all ships need to have decorative lighting like the ships here in this part of Schiedam? :P
This shot is also for sale, to be found on my Werk Aan De Muur page.
Branderij de Tweeligh
Schiedam is de hoofdstad van de Nederlandse jenever. Een wandeling door haar straten toont je overal de restanten van de eens zo bloeiende jeneverindustrie. Je vindt er de pakhuizen, branderijen, graanmolens, waterwegen, het zakkendragershuisje en natuurlijk de graanbeurs. Er zijn in Schiedam twee stokerijen die op geheel traditionele wijze jenever maken; het jenevermuseum met branderij 'De Gekroonde Brandersketel' en branderij 'De Tweelingh'. Beide leiden graag gasten rond. Er zijn ook nog twee stokerijen die inmiddels tot grote fabrieken zijn geworden; 'De Kuyper' (nu vooral likeur) en 'Nolet' (van de Ketel1). Oude Schiedammer namen als Floryn, Olifant en Goblet zijn inmiddels allemaal onderdeel van de Dirkzwager groep en worden niet meer in Schiedam maar ergens in Noord-Brabant gemaakt. Een leuke variatie op het geheel is distilleerderij 'Van Toor' uit het naastgelegen Vlaardingen. Met de moutwijn van 'De Tweelingh' wordt hier een heerlijk kruidige jenever gemaakt

The distillery Tweeligh
Schiedam is the capital of the Dutch gin. A walk through her streets shows you everywhere the remains of the once so blooming gin industry. You will find the warehouses, burns, grain mills, waterways, the zaggerershuisje and of course the grain fair. There are two stokeries in Schiedam that make gin in a completely traditional way; The ginning museum with the burnout 'De Grownede Brandersketel' and the 'De Tweelingh' burning. Both are welcome to guide guests. There are also two stokeries which have now become major factories; 'De Kuyper' (now mainly liqueur) and 'Nolet' (from the Ketel1). Oude Schiedammer names like Floryn, Elephant and Goblet are now all part of the Dirkzwager group and are no longer made in Schiedam but somewhere in North Brabant. A nice variation on the whole is 'Van Toor' distillery from neighboring Vlaardingen. With the mint wine of 'De Tweelingh' is a delicious spicy venison made

Station Olen is een onbemand spoorwegstation (of stopplaats) langs spoorlijn 15 op de grens van Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Olen en Sint-Jozef-Olen, in de gemeente Olen. Het traject Herentals - Mol - Neerpelt is niet-geëlectrificieërd dus in Olen rijden er dieseltreinen. Deze dienst werd vroeger met diesellocomotieven reeks 59 en 62 en M2-rijtuigen gereden. Sinds juni 2001 wordt deze dienst gereden met de reeks 41-dieseltrein.
In Olen kun je 4 treinen nemen. Of wel de IR-trein naar Neerpelt of de IR-trein naar Antwerpen-Centraal. Je kan vanaf december ook een L-trein naar Mol nemen en een L-trein naar Antwerpen-Centraal. maar sinds 15 juni 2009 is de trein beperkt tot Herentals.
Het stationsgebouw, dat dateert van 1878, is niet meer in gebruik en werd omgevormd tot een bier- en jenevermuseum.
