===Protection Seeking===
In April 2011, a group of brewers within Belgium called HORARB ("Hoge raad voor de authentieke Vlaams Roodbruine bieren", or the "High Council for Authentic Flemish Red-brown Beers") formed and intends to seek to make this style a regionally protected style within the EU (Protected Geographical Indication). This group is made up of four brewers in Belgium: Brewery Rodenbach from Roeselare, brewery Verhaeghe from Vichte, Bavik from Bavikhove and Bockor from Bellegem. The proposed name for this style is "Flemish Red Brown Beer" <ref>[https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=nl&u=https://www.toerisme-leiestreek.be/nl/rondje-roodbruin/roodbruine-bieren&prev=search "Red-brown beers".
