Brasserie Saint-Bernardus Kanda

The last white beer challenged by the god of white beer, Pierre Celis, following Hoegaarden White and Celis White. Compared to Celis White, its spicy and full-bodied flavor surpasses that of any other white beer. This beer uses yeast from the St. Bernardus brewery, making it a true collaboration between Mr. Celis and this brewery.

Although it has a low alcohol content of 4.8%, it possesses flavors derived from the unique yeast of this brewery. Extra 4 disappeared in the early 1970s due to the flow of the times, but after 40 years, it has been brewed again.

There exists a beer made at a monastery in West Flanders, known as the best in the world, and this brewery was established by inheriting its recipe. This Tripel, which began brewing there, has an orange color with a floral, fruity flavor, and a hint of bitterness that captivates people.

The rain that fell during the time of Joan of Arc became groundwater, drawn up from 150 meters underground to create this beer. It is filled with the unique aromas of this brewery, reminiscent of pear and vanilla, and a smooth, gentle sweetness dominates the palate. It is also customary to drink in the order of Pater, Prior, Abt.

The St. Bernardus Brewery is located just a 10-minute drive from the border with France. Among Pater, Periol, and Abt, it is the most balanced dark brown ale. It has a sweetness reminiscent of hazelnuts and bananas, with a spicy and long-lasting finish that lingers in the nose.

Known as one of the best beers in the world among beer enthusiasts and critics. This beer began brewing in 1946, having been given the recipe from the 'Saint Sixtus Abbey,' which brews the beer known as 'Westvleteren Abt,' often regarded as the best beer in the world. It features an aroma reminiscent of ginjo sake, a rich body, and a spicy, long finish that convinces you of its premium quality. Perfect as the last drink. The essence of this beer is found in the large bottle.

The Christmas beer from St. Bernardus Brewery, which started brewing by inheriting the recipe of the beer said to be the best in the world, 'Westvleteren Abt'!

This beer, which means 'hallucinations caused by alcohol addiction,' has a high alcohol content but is so easy to drink that you might see pink elephants, dragons, and crocodiles appearing before your eyes. Compared to draft beer, it has a strong body, making it great for tasting comparisons.

Brewed in 1999 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Delirium Tremens brewery, this beer, whose name means 'nighttime alcohol addiction', is perfect for drinking late at night. It has a wonderful roasted malt aroma, sweetness reminiscent of orange, pineapple, and tropical fruits, along with a subtle acidity.

Originally, at the Belgian brewery Huyghe and Delirium Café, a high-alcohol cherry beer was made and consumed as a half-and-half of draft Delirium Tremens and Floris Kriek. Inspired by that, a new Delirium was born, adding the flavor of cherry to the essence of Delirium with a very high alcohol content.

This beer features a recipe that has been used in the West Flanders region for a long time, based on a recipe that remained in Idesbald, near the town of Ostend facing the North Sea. The similarities in flavor between the beer called 'Panapot' that was in the town of Pana near Ostend and Idesbald may be due to this recipe passed down in the region. You can enjoy a pleasant sweetness and alcohol.

Ostend, known for its specialty 'small shrimp', faces the North Sea. The nearby town of Idesbald is named after 'Saint Idesbald', who served as the abbot here in the 9th century. It features a sweetness reminiscent of pine and a slight acidity.

Feel the tropical vibe with coconut.

Compared to Pilate 9%, it has a slightly reddish hue and a sweet aroma reminiscent of pear. Especially in the large bottle, the sweetness and alcohol sensation feel integrated like honey. It is a beer that has been loved at Bel-Ombre since its importation.

Originally, this brewery had a farm next door where goats were kept. The name Rout Bock, meaning 'Goat of Happiness,' features a uniquely shaped glass that is among the top one or two in Belgium for its inability to stand on its own. Do not spill it when you are drunk. You will be able to fully enjoy the roasted flavor of the barley.

The recipe using barley, wheat, and oats was discovered at the Carmelite monastery and is a recreation of a traditional recipe that was used over 300 years ago. The sweet flavors and aromas reminiscent of pine and pear blend together in a special glass. The taste of the large bottle is also excellent.

Mr. Kwak, who ran a brewery and an inn, noticed that the passengers of the carriages stopping by the inn every day were unable to free their hands to drink while riding due to their thirst. He devised this glass so that they could drink while riding. It is said that he distributed his beer to everyone. It is a deep reddish-brown beer with a long-lasting finish of roasted sweetness.

Estival means summer. The brewer's thought is that what is needed for a beer to be enjoyed in the summer is not just a smooth finish. This challenge with a low alcohol content achieves the perfect balance of moderate body, sweetness, and bitterness, while simultaneously quenching people's thirst. It is an interesting summer beer that uses a brewing method without the spices that he is particular about.

A beer first brewed by the young brewer Mr. Gregory. It is located in the Luxembourg province of Belgium, adjacent to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, about 20 km from the Orval Abbey. Early on, it incorporated Orval yeast and used Amarillo hops. This beer has a honey-like aroma and offers a remarkable taste that starts with a honey sweetness and gradually reveals bitterness. A masterpiece from the Luxembourg province of Belgium.

Initially, the brewery started with the intention of brewing only Lulu Blonde, but it was brewed as a dark ale using Orval yeast to aim for further flavor. Techniques unique to small breweries, such as opening the top of the fermentation tank, were incorporated everywhere, creating a taste unlike any other. The moment it touches the mouth, you can feel the roasted malt's toastiness and a floral aroma, but it smoothly goes down the throat with bitterness.

A small brewery run by three people. They received yeast from the Orval Abbey, located about 20 km away, and incorporate labor-intensive brewing methods such as direct fire mashing and opening the top of the fermentation tank to create a unique flavor. Currently, the most famous Belgian beer critic, Tim Webb, includes this beer in his top 10 beers alongside Taras Boulba and Ixelles Bitter. The coexistence of bitterness and sweetness is superb.

A strong bitter blonde beer created by two weekend brewers who started brewing as a hobby. Brewed using fresh Hallertau hops from Watou and Poperinge to the fullest extent. Even the most discerning Belgian beer critic, Tim Webb, rated it with five stars, the only blonde beer to receive such a rating. The flavor changes due to secondary fermentation in the bottle, and there is a noticeable difference in taste between the large and small bottles. Be sure to try it in the large bottle to experience the flavor.

This is the first beer they brewed seriously, which started as a hobby. Using high-quality hops from Poperinge, it is finished with dry hopping, where hops are added during fermentation, resulting in the best flavor. It has a rich aroma and taste of hops, as if you are enjoying the hop flowers themselves. The addition of fresh hops also brings astringency due to the tannins. Please enjoy the essence of this beer in a large bottle.

Eno Province, located west of Brussels in Belgium. This province is characterized by vast agricultural land, and many Saison beers originated from being brewed for consumption during farming activities. The De Ranke Brewery, located in the town of Dottigny in Eno Province, has also started brewing a new Saison beer. It retains the unique hop flavor of De Ranke Brewery while incorporating the rich body of a Saison beer. It has been sampled during test brewing, and we look forward to seeing how its flavor and color will evolve!

Noir means 'black' in French, and Dottigny is the town where the De Ranke brewery is located. Dottigny is part of the French-speaking Walloon region of Hainaut, and the Dutch-speaking people from the north wanted to brew a beer rooted in that town, leading to the creation of this beer. This is the first dark beer they brewed, emphasizing fresh hop flowers. It is a product where the floral aroma and the roasted malt aroma blend exquisitely.

This is Santa's uncle. It uses plenty of fresh hop flowers harvested in the neighborhood in August and September.

A beer blended using the lambic from the Girardin brewery and the yeast that was used at the Rodenbach brewery before it was acquired. De Ranke brewery proposes a new style of lambic that has never been seen before. This authentic blended lambic can be enjoyed even by those who are not fond of the intense sourness of lambic. By soaking cherries in it for more than six months, De Ranke Creek is created.

Based on the lambic from the Girardin brewery and Flanders red beer, real cherries are soaked for more than six months. This is an authentic fruit lambic that showcases the strong acidity of the lambic and the acidity of the cherries themselves. It is a product that makes one think about the future of lambic.

A surreal story from Gogol's novel 'Captain Burba', where a father, a soldier on the Russian side, tries to kill his son who has fallen in love with the daughter of the enemy Polish nobility. This beer is brewed with a wish for peace, so that such stories do not occur in Belgium, where the federal system of Flanders and Wallonia continues. Despite having a lower alcohol content (4.5%) than Japanese beer, it maximizes the aroma and bitterness of hop flowers.

The place where Mr. Bernardo first started this brewery is said to be along the Zene River, where natural fermentation yeast resides in this area where lambic brewers gather. In this region, it is colloquially referred to as the Gine River. It has an orange-like hue, a mellow bitterness from the aroma hops, and a faint sweetness that can be felt within. This is the representative beer of this brewery and is also the first beer that was announced.

A brewery that has been operating quietly for about 200 years near Ghent. A beer that emphasizes the flavor of hops through dry hopping. The aroma, bitterness, and sweetness of the hops are in exquisite balance!

Unlike the traditional Saison beer, which was brewed for farmers to drink during their agricultural work, this is literally a 'Saison' (season) beer. It is a wheat-based white beer that incorporates two types of hops and elderflower, a flower well-known in Europe. It is brewed only from mid-May to mid-June when the flowers bloom. The fresh and slightly green flavor that emanates from the petals is very well expressed, creating a new type of beer that combines the refreshing qualities of a white beer with an unexpected bitterness.

In the oldest city in Belgium, Tournai, this brewery began brewing this beer as the only brewery in the area. While it has a unique sweetness characteristic of the Walloon region (only a little sugar is used for secondary fermentation), it also has a solid bitterness from hops, making it a very interesting beer that seems to possess features of both Walloon blondes and saison beers. I learned when we met that Mr. Laurent and Mr. Gregory from the Lulu Brewery have been friends since university. It's a small world!!

It is a stout type that is rare in Belgium, but it is not exactly a stout; one might say it is a fusion of Belgian beer and stout? The rich body of Belgian beer is followed by a subtle acidity and a dry yet aromatic bitterness. This exquisite flavor, as the brewer puts it, is simply 'the taste I like.'

A fruit lambic brewed by Lindemans Brewery since 1809. Previously, they produced a dry fruit lambic with strong acidity, but in the 1970s, they pioneered the introduction of a sweet fruit lambic by adding fruit juice to lambic, with Creek being the first of its kind. Since then, they have continued to create various fruit lambics. Lindemans Creek is blended with cherry juice, characterized by its bright red color. It is a beer that matches the sweet aroma of cherries with the acidity of lambic. While it has a strong sweetness, the acidity is also felt simultaneously, providing a robust drinking experience.

A fruit lambic made with cassis, released in 1986. There are few fruit beers made with cassis, and this one is particularly famous. The color is a deep ruby red. The tartness of the cassis pairs perfectly with the lambic, offering a subtle sweetness and a well-balanced flavor. The bottle is also popular in the reserve.

Pecheresse is a pioneer in adding peach juice to lambic, influencing many breweries today that brew fruit beers. This is a beer that I definitely recommend to those who are not fond of beer.

Raspberry pairs well with chocolate and ice cream.

The most voluminous beer from the Shire Brewery, which has been in operation for six generations since 1850. It has a woody aroma reminiscent of hazelnuts, which may differ from traditional Scotch ales in that regard. A full-bodied beer with a wonderful balance of bitterness that comes later. It pairs well with meat dishes, blue cheese, and nuts.

Unlike the current Four Seasons and Saison Dupont, Saison beer blended young beers with a strong hop flavor and sour old beers from the 19th to early 20th century. Some breweries aged this blend in barrels, and many had a reddish-brown color rather than a blonde hue. Although this brewery does not age in barrels, Saison Sili is an important beer in understanding the taste of traditional Saison due to its blending of new and old beers, its reddish-brown color, and the fact that it has not changed its recipe since it began brewing.

Mr. Chris, who is also an architect and painter, purchased a brewery that had been in use since 1835 with his brothers and began brewing beer as a hobby on weekends in 1980. It quickly became a brewery that beer lovers from around the world visit, and a place of relaxation for everyone from local elders to children. Arabia is a blonde ale made with hops from Poperinge in West Flanders, the local area. The bitterness of the hops and the full-bodied flavor create enthusiastic fans.

Until the 1980s, Belgian beer was swept away by the wave of mass-produced beer, and many unique breweries disappeared one after another. During that time, doctors, lawyers, and architects began brewing beer as a hobby. Going against the flow of the times, they started to brew unique beers that only they could create. This beer is the first of those, and it means 'our' and 'original.' It uses Flanders red beer yeast, has strong carbonation, and features a unique blend of sourness and roasted flavors.

A beer created for the Christian holiday of Easter. Boskun is a coined term meaning wooden rabbit, and it is also a nickname given to Joe, the brother of brewer Chris, due to his large ears, which is a play on the Easter rabbit. It is fruity due to bottle conditioning with pale malt, Goldings hops, and sweet potato sugar, but has a solid body.
