| Augustijn Blond | | Van Steenberge Ertvelde, Belgium | 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. |
| Augustijn Dark | | Van Steenberge Ertvelde, Belgium | Belgian Dark 8% ABV | The Augustijn Dark is the logical addition to the existing beers Augustijn Blonde and Augustijn Grand Cru and is a true beer of 8% alc. that appeals both the occasional as the seasoned beer lover! With the grand balance between aroma, taste en after taste, the Augustijn Dark is added value in this segment and ensures that the range of Augustijn-beers reflects a delicious spectrum of tastes within the rich Belgian beerculture. The beer is not distinctly sweet, as many would expect from a dark specialty beer. It tastes rather lightly smoked with a touch of nuts and caramel. |
| Augustijn Grand Cru | | Van Steenberge Ertvelde, Belgium | Belgian Tripel 9% ABV | Besides the classic Augustijn, there is also a Grand Cru version; the “tripel” you could say. Less famous, but according to beer lovers without a doubt one of the best and finest beers of Brewery Van Steenberge. This beer unites a remarkable drought with the fruity of a tripel and will hence seduce many beer lovers! |
| Biere Du Boucanier Caribbean | | Van Steenberge Ertvelde, Belgium | Belgian Pale 6.5% ABV | |
| Biere Du Boucanier Dark | | Van Steenberge Ertvelde, Belgium | Belgian Strong Dark 9% ABV | Energetic and full-bodied taste with sweetish pronounced tone, brown copper color and with a creamy foam of beige tonality, bouquet harmonious and elegant. Category "Belgian Strong Dark Ale", style "brown ale", this beer is produced with the method of the triple fermentation, means that it has three doses of malt more than the quantity used for other beers, added in three different phases of workmanship, like the last phase where the malt is directly put in the bottle or the keg. |

| Biere Du Boucanier Red | | Van Steenberge Ertvelde, Belgium | Belgian Pale 7% ABV | |
| Bornem | | Van Steenberge Ertvelde, Belgium | Abbey Tripel 9% ABV | Lagers owe their existence to the discovery, in the second half of the 19th century, of yeasts that were active at a cold temperature. Until then, one only knew the fermentation at high temperatures. The brewing process of these “Lager” beers was optimized in the Czech town PILZEN, hence the name PILS. The use of light coloured malts gives these beers a typical nice gold yellow colour. Lager is very thirst-quenching if drunk cold. In contrast to most lager beers, our Pils is not pasteurized. This ensures its authentic and exclusive taste, originating from stringent selection and control of the raw materials. |

Few other dark doubles can match this BORNEM DOUBLE. The Dark double is often served with meat dishes, such as steaks, roasted meat, wild or even sausages. |

For the secondary fermentation, wine yeast is used. The white bottle, the black banner, the golden dragon and the red letters, constitute a stylish result that has no equal among the many Belgian special beers. Gulden Draak can be drunk as an aperitif or dessert, or whenever you have the time to sit back and relax. But this barley wine is also perfect with and in stews, especially the Ghent variety. It is also a plus in sauces for red meat, such as a bordelaise. It is particularly suited as a dessert beer, especially in combination with dark chocolate. |
