Beer Birthday: Don Feinberg

August 18, 2022 By Jay Brooks

vanberg-dewulf
Today is Don Feinberg’s 67th birthday, along with his wife Wendy Littlefield, ran the Belgian export company Vanberg & DeWulf. Their portfolio included such great beer lines as Dupont, Castelain and Dubuisson (Bush). They were also the original founders of Brewery Ommegang. Several years ago they celebrated their 30th anniversary of being involved in the beer industry and bringing great beer to America. Plus, they’re great fun to hang out and drink with. Unfortunately, several years ago they sold Vanberg & DeWulf, and are taking some time off, before deciding on their next project. It’s been a while now, but hopefully, we’ll learn something soon. Join me in wishing Don a very happy birthday.

    I met him and Wendy 20 years ago in Toronto and they haven’t changed. Legends in the beer business. Nice to see this kudos.
