Billie's Bier Kafetaria in Antwerp, owned by Stefan and named after his beautiful French Bulldog, Billie. Billie sadly passed away in 2021, but his legacy lives on through Billie's Beer Festival, held every November.
Each brewery attending is asked to brew a special beer to commemorate this special wee guy, and we are delighted to be involved in this year's festival.
Brewed with East Lothian malt and packed full of Strata hops.
Here's to you, Billie!

Can at home picked up from hotm. A bright clear golden coloured pour with a tidy lasting frorhy white head. Aroma is nice fresh pine, melon, white grape, juicy fruit, orange rind. Very clean. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, clean base grains, nz hop vibes, Nelson, white grape, semi crisp finish, drying piney hop. Palate is is super crisp easy going, highish carbonation. Really easy drinking solid. Ipa.

Sampled at Billies, day 2. Clear golden color, medium sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, hops, hoppy bitter. Clean and dry. Okay, but nothing special imo. 7-7-7-6-6
