Beer

Our golden-yellow wheat beer, with its fine-pored white foam, smells of cloves and impresses consumers with its refreshing banana flavour.  It is full bodied and with a smooth yeast taste. To be enjoyed at any time (always a pleasure/enjoyment), goes excellently with fish and seafood, with spicy cheese and especially with the traditional Bavarian veal sausage.

Brewed according to our centuries-old brewing tradition on the Weihenstephan hill.

Commercial Description

Extra long cold storage in our monastery cellars makes this single-bock a really special beer with full body and a distinctively great mouthfeel. Prost!

Tasting Notes
Pours cloudy blond golden yellow. Bright white colored, foamy head and very nice legs with equally sexy lace. Aroma of freshly picked bananas. Dominate banana aroma. Some mustard seed, a nice clove and a touch of honey sweetness in the nose as well. Very grainy wheat flavor yields a nice bit of sweetness. Lots of fruity yeast esters. Finishes with a lingering spiciness of black pepper. A nice calming alcoholic presence. Creamy texture, very smooth on the palate. Full bodied. Dangerously drinkable.

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.

Westmalle Extra is the table beer served to the monks and their guests and is brewed with water, barley malt and hop cones. The Westmalle Dubbel and Tripel yeast is also used for this beer. Westmalle Extra is also top-fermented but it is considerably lighter, at 4.8%, alcohol-by-volume than its brother brews. It has the characteristic Westmalle aroma with hops coming through in the finish. It is a real thirst-quencher.

Westmalle Brewery is one of the most famous Belgian Trappist breweries and with good reason. They produce just three beers but are revered by every Belgian beer lover. The tripel is widely recognised as one of the best beers in the world with its unique yeasty aroma and insane depth of flavour. Their dubbel is almost as loved; a deep amber beer with lots of caramel, raisin and almost rum like flavours.

Westmalle Tripel is a clear, golden yellow Trappist beer that undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle (9,5% alcohol). It is a complex beer with a fruity aroma and a nice nuanced hop scent. It is soft and creamy in the mouth, with a bitter touch carried by the fruity aroma. An exceptional beer, with a great deal of finesse and elegance. And with a splendid long aftertaste.

The Westmalle Tripel is indeed called the "mother of all tripels." This type of beer was first brewed in Westmalle abbey in 1934 when the new brewing hall came into use. The current formula has stayed practically unchanged since 1956, thus more than 50 years.

The heaviest of the Westvleteren beers, the 12 is a quadrupel style beer, which can be recognized by its yellow cap. Like the other Westvleteren beers, the bottle does not have a label, and the cap therefore has all the required information.

The Westvleteren 12 has always been rated high on beer reviews, and is by some considered to be the best beer in the world.

Just as the other Westvleteren beers, it can only legally be purchased at the monestary (on appointment) or in the bar across the street. However, it often finds its way on the grey market where it's sold at high prices.

Brewed with the respect a traditional style deserves, this Extra Special Bitter combines a healthy dose of toffee, caramel and roast malt character, balanced with a herbal bitterness from the English hops and berry notes from the English yeast strain.

Pours a beautiful toffee amber colour with an off-white head. Match it with traditional English pub grub ? Meat pie, sausage and mash, or a hearty stew.

Our brewing team spent 2 days prepping this brew, kettled then fermented it.  It is kettled again with further conditioning in the brite tank.

We used 60kg of sliced fresh ginger along with 15kg of freshly squeezed lemon; add ground cloves, malted oats, hops and other secret ingredients, all resulting in a refreshing clean without being overly sweet Ginger Beer. 

A full ginger kick that will fill your whole mouth; the fresh ginger will ensure beautiful warmth at the back of the throat. The use of Champagne yeast has given this a whole new dimension and finesse.

Brewed with the respect a traditional style deserves, this Irish style dry stout pours pitch black topped with a rocky cream coloured head. Hold it up to the light to see beautiful ruby highlights and bring it to your nose for the full roasted character to shine through. Notes of fresh coffee, dark chocolate and a hint of earthiness come forward through the palette. Then, it brings a finish as dry as the Irish sense of humour!

FLANDERS RED

Mixed ferm red with blackberries and horopito.

This second batch of Brombees has spent around 18 months in the fermenter - inoculated with brett, lacto and pedio. 

In tertiary the beer spent 6 months on blackberries, finished with horopito at packaging. The horopito works to elevate the malt flavours in the beer as well as delivering its own herbal and spicy notes. Medium acidity allows the funk from the
brettanomyces to come through.

This beer started out as two separate barrels that we filled in 2018. Three years later we blended the two barrels together before separating the blend out into two different finishing barrels. This part of the blend was finished in a freshly emptied port barrel with 250g/L sour cherries and raspberries.
