Jopen four grains Bokbier is a top fermented Bokbier that is specially brewed for the October and November months. The taste is fruity and chocolate like due to the roasted Rye malt that is used. When the beer is lagered a little longer, aromas appear that resemble a smokey flavor. The Jopen Bokbier has won a silver medal at the World Beer Championship in the USA, silver medal at the European Beerstar Competion 2011, and a bronze medal at the Tastiest Bokbier of the Netherlands 2011.

CHOUFFE BOK 6666 is a seasonal beer brewed especially for the Netherlands. The "Bok" beers traditionally appear on the Dutch market at the end of September. CHOUFFE BOK 6666 stands out thanks to its coppery robe, its fresh, fruity nose and a pleasant roundness in the mouth, ending with a hint of bitterness.

The oldest recipe from the Haarlem archives, a recipe for ‘gruit’ or mulled beer, dates from 1407. Gruit beers, crafted using herbs and spices including yarrow, rosemary and sweet gale, are the forerunners of all the familiar present-day beers. Jopen Adriaan is a dark blonde beer with a very refreshing taste. Thanks to the combination of its freshness and a mellow, spicy aftertaste, Adriaan is an ideal thirst quencher. It is especially popular in summer for serving in outdoor cafés. With an alcohol content of 5% vol, Adriaan really goes down smoothly. The name Adriaan has been taken from the city mill, ‘Stadsmolen de Adriaan’, where the grain used to be milled for the brewers. The mill is a landmark in the centre of Haarlem. Part of this beer’s sales revenues are donated to the ‘Molen De Adriaan’ foundation. Gold at European Beer Star 2014, Europe’s Best Bronze, World Beer Awards 2013, Silver Award Belgian-Style witbier, European Beer Star 2013 and winner Gold medal, Dublin Craft Beer Cup, Craft Brewing and Distilling.

Jopen Hoppenbier is the beer we started our brewery with (almost) 16 years ago. It is brewed according to the bierkeur (city recipe) from 1501 and was the first beer brewed with hops instead of gruit (herbs). The beer is brewed with malted barley, malted wheat and oats and has a very mellow malty taste and a hoppy finish. It is the predecessor of many Belgian beers, due to the fact that is was sold a lot in Belgium during the Middle Ages. Silver medal winner at the New Zealand Brew awards in 2009. Gold medal at the European Beerstar Competition in 2011.

Jopen Koyt is a gruitbeer (herb beer) that is brewed according to the bierkeur (city recipe) from 1407. The beer is brewed with malted barley, malted wheat and oats and has a malty taste with a smooth herbal finish. The aroma has a hint of herbs and spices mixed with dark malt. Jopen Koyt is the only gruitbeer from the Netherlands. Gold medal winner at the European Beerstar competition in 2009 and a silver medal at the European Beerstar Competition in 2011.

Jopen Malle Babbe is a ‘dunkel weizen’ (dark wheat beer). Just like a regular ‘weizen’ it has a fruity (banana) character with a slightly spicy touch of cloves and bay leaves. Another aspect of this beer is the fact that some dark wheat malts have been used which give it more colour, but also a somewhat fuller, slightly caramel-like flavour. The whirlpool addition of Saphir hops gives Jopen Malle Babbe an extra fruity flavour. Saphir is a German hop with a bit of American citrus character.

Jopen Northsea IPA is an IPA (India Pale Ale) or, in old Dutch, a ‘Duraebel Scheepsbier’. These beers were extra strongly brewed and extra hopped so that they could be taken along on the long sea voyages to the Dutch East Indies (current-day Indonesia). Nowadays this type of beer is making a comeback because American brewers have breathed new life into this brewing style. This hoppy amber beer is named after the lake between the towns of Spaarndam and Haarlem, the Mooie Nel (literally: Beautiful Nel). The beer has received an extra hop addition to the tank after fermentation to give it a clear hop character. Silver medal winner Brussels beer Challenge 2014.

The second beer we put out is more about hops. Centennial hops provide a citrusy and grapefruity flavor and aroma.

The first beer we put out officially. Mannenliefde is a saison flavoured with lemongrass, Szechuan pepper and Sorachi Ace hops.

In our effort to make a tripel a bit more exciting than most examples out there, we decided to spice it like a Thai dish. Lemongrass, Galangal root, coriander, orange peel and chilli pepper blend in with some exotic latehops in this tripel.

Flink is beautiful, sparkling thirst quencher. This fresh, light pale ale is low in alcohol yet full of flavour. We mixed in a bit of wheat malt, which results in a firm body and a very pleasant, soft mouth feel. A light dryhop with Galaxy and Mosaic hops is responsible for the tickle of subtle, fruity hoppiness.

A dark-blonde beer with an emphatic, hoppy flavour. The hops provide delicious aromas of flowers and grapefruit. A beer with a fruity, bitter aftertaste that lingers for a long time.

After the ‘Zatte’, this is the oldest beer from Brouwerij ‘t IJ. Natte is classed as a ‘dubbel’, a Belgian category of smooth, dark beers. Dark malts endow the Natte with a reddish-brown colour and a smooth, roasted flavour with earthy tones of brown sugar, nuts and plums. Completed with slightly bitter hops, this is a nicely balanced beer and one of the brewery’s classics.

The very first beer brewed by Brouwerij ‘t IJ, back in 1985. It is a ‘tripel’, the category reserved for the stronger, blonde beers in Belgian tradition. Zatte more than lives up to expectations in this respect. It is a full-bodied, golden beer with a scent of fresh fruit mingled here and there with a hint of grain. The flavour is slightly sweet, ending with a fine, dry aftertaste. A delicious beer that can be enjoyed in all seasons.

Affligem Blonde, the classic clear blonde abbey ale, with a gentle roundness and 6.8% alcohol. Low on bitterness, it is eminently drinkable.

Also occasionally available in cask-conditioned form at 5% ABV.

When the first regular breweries were founded in the Middle Ages, beer filtration was not a common technology and few mastered it. Among these few were the Fathers of Grimbergen Abbey, who became renowned experts in craft brewing. Their masterpiece was the filtrated Grimbergen Blonde – a pure, smooth, blonde ale with ripe fruit flavours and no cloudiness – that stood out from other beers of the time. Today, it’s still an insider tip among beer connoisseurs around the world.

NB: The bottles currently in stores saying "Palm Retro" are also this entry. The beer is the same, it's just the labels that are in retro style. PALM Ale has long been one of Europe’s top-selling specialty beers. Made with English hops, French Barley, and Belgian yeast, PALM represents the best of European beer-making traditions. It’s the roasted Champagne Malt which gives PALM its amber color, but without being heavy. Also available bottle-conditioned as Palm Hergist. Sold as Palm outside of Europe.

Rich ruby-brown with a firm, silky head and strong natural carbonation. Leads on complex clove, spice, anise, raisin, molasses and banana aromas. A deep spicy clove flavor mellows into softer, caramel fruity taste. A silky, spicy mouth-feel. Finaly balanced alcohol with plenty of hoppy dryness gives great structure and keeps it brighter than many other doubles. On swirling, the yeast-bite gives out stronger banana notes, yeasty spice and aroma hops.

First sold in 75 cl (25.4 fl.oz.) bottles, it is noted for its copper color and as the first beer brewed by the monks of Chimay in 1862. Topped with a creamy head, it gives off a light, fruity apricot aroma produced by the fermentation. The taste perceived in the mouth is a balance confirming the fruity nuances noticed in the fragrance. Its taste, which imparts a silky sensation to the tongue, is made refreshing by a light touch of bitterness. To the palate, the taster perceives a pleasant astringency which complements the flavor qualities of this beer very harmoniously. This top-fermented Trappist beer, re fermented in the bottle, is not pasteurized.

Double has undergone two fermentations, which gives this ale a chocolatey, toffee taste with a warming brandy-like finish.

Westmalle Dubbel is a dark, reddish-brown Trappist beer with a secondary fermentation in the bottle. The creamy head has the fragrance of special malt and leaves an attractive lace pattern in the glass. The flavour is rich and complex, herby and fruity with a fresh-bitter finish. It is a balanced quality beer with a soft feel in the mouth and a long, dry aftertaste. The Dubbel contains 7% alcohol.

The king of the abbey beers. Brewed since 1074 by the Formula Antiqua Renovate. It is amber-gold and pours with a deep head and original aroma, delivering a complex, full bodied flavour. Secondary fermentation in the bottle. (Temp: 8-10ºC)

Het van oudsher Brugse stadsbier, krachtig en bitterzoet. BRUGGE Tripel heeft een mooie goudblonde kleur en een stevig, rotsachtig schuim dat een tekening van Brugs kantwerk achterlaat op het glas. Het aroma heeft een typisch fenolisch gerookte toets en de smaak is bitter, rijk en romig. Het geheim van het stadsbier BRUGGE Tripel is gelegen in de eigen samenstelling van het kruidenmengsel ‘gruut’, dat haar smaak en aroma verrijkt. In Brugge werd al wie bier brouwde verplicht een ‘gruut’ te gebruiken en dat aan te kopen in het stedelijke kruidenhuis, ‘Gruuthuse’ genaamd. Jan van Brugge en zijn nazaten, die later Van Gruuthuse werden genoemd, kregen tot laat in de 16e eeuw het monopolie op de verkoop van het Brugse ‘gruut’. Terzelfdertijd werden taksen geheven ten voordele van de Graaf van Vlaanderen. In BRUGGE Tripel wordt deze middeleeuwse traditie verdergezet.

The pale malts used give this tripel its deep, ocher colour. Grimbergen Tripel has a bittersweet, spicy and extremely round flavor. The typical spicyness is created by using blonde candy sugar and the subtle mix of soft and bitter hop varieties.The secondary fermentation gives the flavour bouquet a perfect harmony. You'll especially appreciate the perfect aftertaste of this beer.

NOTE: The ABV-value of this beer varies, in the United States 6.9% is used. The Orval’s brewery produces only one beer to sell, a beer with a high fermentation that continues in the bottle. It is 6.2% ABV. This beer is brewed exclusively from spring water, barley malt, hop cones, candy sugar, and yeast. The aroma and the fine taste are due more to the hop cones and the yeast than to the malt that is used. What’s special about Orval’s beer is that hops are added at two different stages of the production process. First, in the brewing room, a large quantity of very fine hops are added – this produces the famous bitter taste and is the reason why the beer keeps for a longer period of time. Later, in the storage cellars, hops are once again added. This is the so-called British “dry hopping,” which produces the delightful aroma that completely enraptures even the most carefully forewarned taster. In the tasting room, Orval’s beer and cheese make a really good pair: the unique shape of the bottle and the glass, the design of the label, the coasters and other publicity materials – it’s all a legacy from the early 1930’s.

Was first brewed in 1934 and the recipe has not changed since 1956. It is made with pale candy sugar and has a very pale color produced from a mash of light pilsener malts. Styrian Goldings hops are used along with some German varieties and the classic Saaz pilsener hop. After a long secondary fermentation, the Tripel Westmalle is bottled with a dose of sugar and yeast. This beer holds up well in the bottle over time and seems to soften with age.

The Chimay Blue Cap, baptized "Grande Reserve" in 750 ml bottles is a dark Trappist beer with a powerful aroma, the complex flavor of which improves across the years. It was first brewed as a Christmas beer by the monks of Scourmont Abbey in 1956. This authentic Belgian beer, whose tinge of fresh yeast is associated with a light rosy flowery touch, is particularly pleasant. Its aroma, perceived as one enjoys it, only accents the delightful sensations revealed by the odor, all revealing a light but agreeable caramelized note. It is ideally served at cellar temperature (10 to 12°C).

Previously known as Kasteelbier - Bruin / Brune. Kasteel Donker is a member of the Belgian quadrupel family. These are strong, sweet to bitter, dark brown beers where the malt predominates. They were inspired by the beers of the Trappist brewers. It is a full-mouthed, malty beer with touches of caramel, coffee and chocolate coming from the roast malt. The sweet initial taste is quite surprising. Further tasting shows this beer to be intriguingly complex.

Golden blond, multigrain beer with a very persistent, lacing head. Scent: A complex smell, with a citrus aroma, followed by hop aromas such as Saaz, Brewers Gold and Amarillo. Flavour: Initially rather sweet, because of the alcohol. The intense taste and roundness mask the presence of high bitterness.

Originally called "Spécial," Rochefort 8 dates to the mid-1950s. The name comes from the original gravity in "Belgian degrees." Deep brown color; the flavor is vigorous and complex, with firm body to support the strength. The aroma has elusive notes of fresh fruit, spice, leather, and figs. ABV 9.2 IBU 22

Dominant impressions of latte coffee with powerful chocolate aromas in the nose. The alcohol esters are enveloped with hints of autumn wood, citrus zest (orange, lemon) and freshly baked biscuits. The initial taste is sweetly sinful. Beer and chocolate trapped into one single glass, a liquid milky draught with a backbone of bitter malt. The alcohol warms the throat and, in the finish, you will pick up traces of cloves, citrus, orange and mocha. The heaviest of the Rochefort beers, the 10 is a quadrupel style beer and can be recognized by its blue label.

The Bush Ambrée is flushed with a bitter-sweet taste, and a pleasing consistency, courtesy, in part, of its balanced caramel malts. Those malts also introduce a strong streak of roasted nuts, adding to this beer's stand out flavour. Despite its initial filtering, the re-fermentation has given the beer a natural cloudiness, while also making for a mild and tender mouth-feel.

NB: Depending on the location and batch, this beer can be either 8.5% or 8.7%. Please do not post an edit request asking to change it from one to the other. The allusion to pink elephants and the choice of names is not due to chance. With a particular character, the unique taste of results from the use of three different kinds of yeast. The result is a finish of peppery bitterness without aggression. The gray bottle hides a mystery awaiting discovery by the none faint of heart.

Deep blonde in colour, Barbãr’s creamy head gives off a powerful aroma, unobtrusively scented with honey and accompanied by a bouquet of floral, spicy and citrus notes. The use of soft wheat gives a rounded attack, without heaviness. The sugar provided by the honey during the wort boiling undergoes fermentation and is converted into alcohol. Consequently, this is a soft but not sweet beer, with a touch of acidity which gives it freshness. The finish is full of finesse and without a bitter aftertaste. An original and distinctive beer whose distant origins go back to the “cervoise” brewed by our ancestors who called it “Warrior’s rest”.

"Beer for experts" Description Appearance : blond, living beer with a fine and generous head. Flair : balanced association of green apple fruit and fine hop. Taste : light bitterness, smooth, beer with character. Remark : tasting between 5° and 12°C

Duvel is a natural beer with a subtle bitterness, a refined flavour and a distinctive hop character. The unique brewing process, which takes about 90 days, guarantees a pure character, delicate effervescence and a pleasant sweet taste of alcohol. Apart from pure spring water, which is the main ingredient of beer, barley is the most important raw material. Barley must germinate for five days in the malt house, after which malt remains. The colour of the malt and as a consequence also of the beer is determined by the temperature. Duvel obtains its typical bitterness by adding various varieties of aromatic Slovenian and Czech hops. We use only exclusive hops that are renowned for their constant, outstanding quality. Duvel ferments for the first time in tanks at 20 to 26°C. The brewer uses his own culture for this. The original yeast strain, which Victor Moortgat himself selected in the 1920’s, originates from Scotland. After maturing in storage tanks in which the beer is cooled down to -2°C, the drink is ready for bottling. Thanks to the addition of extra sugars and yeast, the beer ferments again in the bottle. This occurs in warm cellars (24°C) and takes two weeks. Then the beer is moved to cold cellars, where it continues to mature and stabilise for a further six weeks. This extra long maturation period is unique and contributes to the refined flavour and pure taste of Duvel.

Gouden Carolus Classic, the ‘Grand Imperial Beer’ from Mechelen, is brewed with dark, very balanced dosed caramel and aromatic malts. This unique beer combines the warmth of wine and the freshness of beer. This makes it very suitable in combination with culinary specialties such as stews, pâtés, ripened or strong cheeses. Elected Worlds’ Best Dark Beer (World Beer Awards 2012).

Hommel is the local abbreviation of humulus, from the botanical name for the hop plant. Confusingly, it also means bumble bee in Flemish. Poperings Hommelbier is a hoppy, golden-bronze, ale. it is made from a blend of winter, summer and aromatic pale malts, at a starting density of 16 Plato; soft water, from the brewery's own well; Brewers' Gold and Hallertau hops, both grown in Poperinge; and top-fermented with a very attenuative yeast that precipitates quickly. It is primed with white sugar, and re-yeasted for bottle-conditioning. The finished beer has 7.5 per cent alcohol by volume and 40 units of bitternes, though it tastes lighter on both counts.

Superb golden ale from the Maes brewery. Clear gold, strong complex flavours with a dry aftertaste. Not to heavy in body and quite lively. Should suit the British palate well. Best served in it's own glass. 8,5% alc. Serving temperature 16 •c

In Napoleon's time Pauwel Kwak was a brewer and the owner of the 'De Hoorn' inn in Dendermonde. Mail coaches stopped there every day. But at that time coachmen were not allowed to leave their coach and horses in order to have their thirst quenched along with their passengers. As a result, the inventive innkeeper had a special Kwak glass blown that could be hung on the coach. In this way the coachman had his Kwak beer safely at hand. LOOK: Kwak is recognisable by its deep bright amber colour and a dense, creamy coloured head. The pale wood of the glass holder makes a pleasant contrast with the beer. SMELL: You will smell a mellow, fruity and malty aroma with a slightly spicy character (coriander, hops). Additional earthy and very subtle aromas of banana and perhaps also a whiff of pineapple or mango in the background. TASTE: Discover a very mellow, fruity attack, a nougat-like solidity, and a slightly spicy character with hints of liquorice passing into a warm finish that reminds you of caramelised banana. The bitterness always remains in the background but in the end emerges delicately.
