Augustijn Blond

Van Steenberge

Belgian Blonde – 7.5% ABV

In 1295 the Augustinian friars started to brew Augustijn in their Ghent monastery. In the Middle Ages many monks and priests brewed and sold their own beer. Often, the water was contaminated and that’s why it was safer to drink beer, since it was boiled during the brewing process. In 1978 the Augustinian friars sought a new partner for the brewing of their Augustijn beer. They had previously also outsourced the brewing of their lager beer. Brewery Van Steenberge was a logical choice, since it was located near the monastery. Respect for the tradition was guaranteed.
