Abbey beers

As the designation " bière d'Abbaye" ( abbey beer) has always been synonymous with quality and tradition, many breweries have used it. In fact these beers are not brewed by monks. Some even carry the names of abbey which have never existed. The term abbey may indicate that the beer is brewed in the way used by monks, that there is an abbey nearby or, simply, that there is a monk on the label. These beers have no specific characteristics. In the last few years, a new category of Abbey beers has appeared. These are beers produced by a private brewery, installed within the confines of a abbey deserted by the original occupants in the past ( Abbaye des Rocs, Val Dieu, Abbaye d'Aulne...)

Augustijn Grand Cru 9°-1/3L
In Stock
Brewed by Van Steenberge brewery and delivered worldwide, the Augustijn Grand Cru is one of the best hidden secrets of the Van Steenberge Brewery. This Triple version of the Augustijn Blonde has more complex taste qualities and contains more degrees of alcohol than her blonde sister.
The Augustijn Grand Cru present has an amber and cloudy body head topped with a consistent foam head that slowly falls along the walls. In the nose, the aroma of this Belgian beer is very sweet with hints of spices, citrus and yeast.
The taste is too soft at the beginning and marries a mixture of spices evoking coriander. In the middle, the alcohol starts to tingle your tongue to remember its actually in the beer. The spicy aspect is then replaced by a hoppy bitterness and ends with some persistence.

In Stock
The Achel is the latest of trappist beers brewed in the monastery of St Benedict Notre-Dame in Belgian city of Achel (in the province of Limburg).
The existing beers of Achel are the result of the hard work of brother Thomas (brewer of Westmalle) and brother Antony (ancient brewer of Rochefort). As you can see, the Achel beers are big beers but still a bit unknown. This beer must be tasted as fast as possible!
The brown malty taste with a light aroma of roasting reveals a vanilla flavour.

Achel Blond 8° - 33cl
In Stock
Achel Blonde is one of the few Trappist beers in the world and is brewed in the monastery of Notre-Dame of Saint-Benoît in Belgium. In order to get the name “trappist”, the beer must be brewed within an abbey under the supervision of the monastic community with a Cistercian tradition. These days it is difficult to meet all of these demands. 
Compared to other trappist beers, the taste of the blonde Achel is more simple and has less temperament but is still fully appreciated.
In the mouth, the first taste is pleasant with a sweet hint of bitterness. The aroma perception in the mouth is long and solid and the aftertaste is not too dry. The whole taste is dominated by the malty sweetness.
