To defy the Dutch blockade of the waterways here after Belgian independence, the locals of Damme dug the Leopold Canal, known locally as ‘the Blinker’.
Blinker is a dry and thirst-quenching beer made with barley and wheat malts and hopped with the earthy hop varieties, Goldings and Challenger. The lemon symbol adorning the label references not only the citrus aromas and flavours derived from our characterful yeast, but the colour of the sun and the taste of a season.
Water: Damme. Malt: pils, munich, dark wheat. Hops: Golding, Challenger. Yeast: Saison.
