Summer Crush is a collaboration made to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Brussels Beer City. This blog talks about everything the breweries in Brussels are up to and was created by our friend Eoghan Walsh. To brew this beer, he brought along another friend of ours, Hélène Spitaels. She collaborates on Brussels Beer City, but is also the driving force behi huind Once in Brussels - our partners who take care of the guided tours in our brewery.
During this heatwave, we wanted to brew a very very light beer. A real thirst-quencher, with an alcohol percentage as low as natural fermentation allows. We also did not want to pasteurize the beer, something that is usually done with beers that have an equally low percentage. The result is a blond beer of 3,5% alcohol. Summer Crush tastes like real beer, super refreshing, with herbal aromas and fruity notes of mandarin and kumquat. Her body is well-balanced, which is the main challenge when brewing low alcoholic beers. Her bitterness is fine but moderate, to increase her drinkability to the max! Because we all know how important it is to hydrate in these temperatures... Available in bottles of 33cl and on draft in our Zenne Bar.
