Horse-Ale, Pale Ale, 4,5°

Brasserie Piedboeuf (founded in 1873, now Brasserie Jupiler), Jupille-sur-Meuse, Belgium (AB InBev)

In 1812, a company was founded in Jupille by Jacques-Pascal Piedbœuf (1782-1839). It wasn’t a brewery but rather a metalworking shop producing brewery equipment as well as industrial boilers for boats, trains, and factories.

In 1853, his son, Jean-Théodore Piedbœuf, succeeded at the helm of the metalworking shop and ventured into brewing but this first brewery, did not survive. The current Piedbœuf brewery has its origins in a brewery established in 1873 by Henri Lhoest-Collinet. This brewery was later inherited by his daughter, who married Théodore Piedbœuf in 1892, the nephew of Jean-Théodore Piedbœuf.

It was owned by the Piedbœuf family for several generations, and is mostly known for its Jupiler brand which inherits its name from the town of Jupille and has a symbol referring to the family name, Piedboeuf meaning Oxl’s Foot in french. Jupiler is one of the best-selling beers in Belgium. It has become synonymous with Belgian beer culture and is widely available throughout the country.

The Piedbœuf brewery became part of the Interbrew group (resulting from the 1987 merger of the Artois, Louvain, and Piedbœuf breweries). On March 3, 2004, Interbrew merged with the Brazilian brewer Companhia de Bebidas das Americas (AmBev) to form InBev, which, in turn, merged in 2008 with Anheuser-Busch.

Steenbrugge Tripel, Blond Beer, 8.7%

De Gouden Broom (the Golden Tree) brewery, Brugges, Belgium

De Gouden Boom, rooted in historic Bruges, traces its origins to Jan Hugheins, a brewer in 1455. Over generations, it transitioned between brewery and distillery. In 1872, Jules Vanneste acquired the building housing ‘t Hamerken distillery, later converting it definitively into a brewery in 1889. ‘t Hamerken’s top-fermentation beers became renowned in Bruges. In 1983, the brewery was named DE GOUDEN BOOM, linking back to the city’s emblem, the Golden Tree, presented to the winner of a knights’ tournament in 1468.

The historic BRUGGE Tripel and STEENBRUGGE abbey beers brewed by DE GOUDEN BOOM hold a secret – the « gruut » blend of herbs and spices. The « Gruuthuse » in Bruges, now a museum, monopolized « gruut » sales until later centuries.

But much ealier, St. Peter’s Abbey in Steenbrugge, founded in 1084 by Arnold of Tiegem, served as a refuge during unsafe times of contaminated water. St. Arnold, later canonized, advocated beer over water during the plague. In 1934, the Abbey of Oudenburg’s rights transferred to St. Peter’s Abbey in Steenbrugge, which brewed beer until World War II.

In 2003, the Prior of St. Peter’s Abbey licensed PALM Breweries to brew STEENBRUGGE abbey beers, entrusting them to preserve St. Arnold’s legacy. PALM Breweries vowed to safeguard the unique ancient recipe, ensuring the continuation of this historical brewing tale.
Today, Palm brewery belongs to Swinkels Family Brewers.

Grimbergen, Blanche, 6° / IBU 13

Alken Maes Brewery, Belgium (Heineken)
Kronenbourg Brewery, France (Carlsberg)
Grimbergen Abbey Brewery, Belgium

In 1128, the region where Grimbergen is located was part of the Holy Roman Empire. The Holy Roman Empire was a complex political entity that encompassed a large portion of central Europe, including parts of modern-day Germany, France, Belgium, and other neighboring regions. The area that is now Belgium was often under the influence of various feudal lords and ecclesiastical authorities within the Holy Roman Empire.

The Norbertine Abbey of Grimbergen, was founded by Saint Norbert of Xanten, a German bishop and founder of the Premonstratensian (Norbertine) Order of canons regular. The Norbertines were an order of monks who followed the Rule of St. Augustine.

The monks at this abbey initially brewed beer for sustenance and to fund their religious activities.

Over the centuries, the brewing tradition evolved, with the recipes and methods passed down through generations of monks. The abbey and its brewery faced various challenges, including fires and war-related disruptions, but they endured.

Today, Grimbergens are produced by Carlsberg and Heineken. These beers are inspired by the abbey’s original recipes and the rich brewing heritage. They a range of Belgian-style ales, including Dubbel, Tripel, Blonde, and others. Grimbergen beers are known for their complexity, often featuring fruity, spicy, and malty flavors, which are characteristic of Belgian abbey ales.

While the original Norbertine monks are no longer directly involved in the brewery’s operation, they announced that it would start producing its own beers again.

Grimbergen remains a symbol of Belgian beer craftsmanship and the enduring legacy of the Grimbergen Abbey.

Dommelsch Lentebier, Bock beer, 6,5%

Dommelsche Brewery (AB InBev), Dommelen, North Brabant, Netherlands

Dommelsch Brewery is a brewery founded in 1744 but the name Dommelsche has only been used since 1930. It is now part of the Anheuser-Busch InBev group, and still brews Dommelsch Pilsener and Brahma.

Besides Dommelsch the brewery also made Hertog Jan, Jupiler, Leffe and Brahma.

Bock beers are all-malt brews and are high in malt sweetness. Malt character is a balance of sweetness and toasted or nut-like malt. “Bock” translates as “goat”.

One theory suggests that « bock » was used as a brand name by one of the earliest producers of this style of beer. It’s believed that a brewer in the city of Einbeck, Germany, brewed strong lagers in the 14th century. These beers became popular and were eventually referred to as « Einbeck Bier. » Over time, « Einbeck » was pronounced as « Ein Bock, » and then simply « Bock. »

Another theory connects the name to the imagery of a billy goat. In the 17th century, a Munich brewer named Elias Pilcher started brewing strong beer and used a billy goat on the label of his bottles. The term « bock » could have become associated with strong beer because of this imagery.

Bock beer is often associated with the arrival of spring and was traditionally brewed for special occasions, including Lent and Easter. Some believe that the goat imagery symbolized the transition from the cold, harsh winter (represented by a goat) to the more festive and celebratory spring season.

Mira Brune no.6, Braun beer, 6.2°

Brasserie Mira, La Teste-de-Buch (Bordeaux), France

Lycia (Likya) was an ancient region located on the southern coast of Anatolia, which is now part of modern-day Antalya, Turkey. Lycians were indigenous people with their own distinct culture & language. Lycia existed as an independent kingdom & later became part of various empires including the Persian Empire, the Hellenistic Seleucid Empire, and eventually the Roman Empire.

The region of Lycia is renowned for ancient cities, such as Xanthos, Patara, Phaselis and Myra, well-preserved ruins, including temples, theaters, and rock-cut tombs.

The Lycians also left behind inscriptions in their indigenous language, which has contributed to the understanding of their society and language.

Nearby, Mount Chimaera was a place in ancient Lycia that gained fame for its constantly burning fires. The area, now known as “Yanartaş” (burning stone), features the emergence of methane & other gases from the rock, causing perpetual flames to burn. This phenomenon is thought to be the inspiration for the mythological Chimera, a creature with the body of a lion, the head of a goat, and a serpent's tail.

Myra (today Demre, Turkey) was a prominent city in the Byzantine Empire and played a significant role in early Christianity. It was the episcopal see of Saint Nicholas, the popular figure known as Santa Claus. The Church of St. Nicholas, dedicated to the saint, was located in Myra’s island. Pilgrims from around the world visited the city to pay homage to Saint Nicholas, and his tomb is believed to be located there.

Licorne Black, Black Beer, 6°

Brasserie Licorne, Saverne, France

The Brasserie La Licorne, also known as Brasserie Licorne, is a well-known brewery located in Saverne, France. It has a rich history that dates back to the 18th century and takes pride in using water from the Vosges Mountains.

Established in 1764 by a local family in Saverne, Alsace, France.

One of the brewery's flagship products is La Bière des Licornes, which translates to "Beer of the Unicorns." This beer, with its distinctive unicorn logo, has become a symbol.

Alsace, in northeastern France, has a rich & eventful history since the 18th century. The French Revolution brought significant political & social changes, as revolutionary ideals of liberty, equality, & fraternity took hold.

However, the region's fate took a turn during the Franco-Prussian War when Alsace was annexed by Germany from 1871 to 1918 (German influence on administration, education, and culture).

The turmoil of World War I engulfed Alsace, as it became a battleground with extensive destruction and loss of life. But the war's end brought a glimmer of hope as Alsace was returned to France with the Treaty of Versailles, leading to a period of readjustment and reintegration.

Tragically, World War II once again brought hardship to Alsace as it was occupied by N**i Germany. However, the region's residents demonstrated resilience, with many actively involved in resistance movements against the occupation.

In a more recent chapter, Alsace has become a symbol of European unity and cooperation. Strasbourg, the capital of Alsace, hosts significant European institutions such as the European Parliament and the Council of Europe, cementing the region's role in the process of European integration.
