About
In 2007, the NV Brasserie Caulier was declared bankrupt. The Caulier brand name came into the hands of the beer company Bien-Être Développement, headed by the entrepreneur Eric Coppieters, which subsequently changed its name to Caulier Développement.
In 2012, he opened a new chapter in the long history of exceptional craft beers by vowing to deliver locally brewed craft beers, to sell them within 28 weeks of bottling through 28 gastro pubs and to deliver them within a 28 minute radius. This way our consumers and customers would receive the beer at peak flavour.
In 2013 the name was changed into Caulier Sugar Free. In 2020 - after a hefty capital investment - the name of the company was changed into Brasserie 28, which is more in line with the ambitious plans of Coppieters (like establishing of a new brewery in Brussels).
For the time being the beers are brewed at the Proefbrouwerij.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. An unclear, murky brown beer with a fine beige head leaving lacings. Sourish nose, citrus and lemon, with some dried fruits and caramel. Citrusy flavor with caramel and some cellar. Yeasty notes too. Dry. Sour and bitter finish. Where the Blond was a pleasant, tasteful beer, this one is almost the opposite. 091024

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A golden beer with floaties and a small, off-white head. Nice citrusy nose, fruity, with some cellar, and biscuity pale malts. Nice fruity flavor with a fine spicyness and bitterness. Some citrus, and a fine bitterness in the end. Dry and full-bodied. A decent blond, quite easy drinking, and tasteful enough to repeat. 091024

Bottle, 6.8%. Mild spicy aroma. Cloudy dark brown colour. Small stable tan head. The flavour is OK malty with a little brett note which freshens it up and balances it off nicely.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a deep amber with big chunky floaties with an off-white head - rather disgusting looking really. Aroma of dried fruit and a yummy Bretty edge. Medium body, heavy carbonation, dried frut and dry burned caramel. Dry and astringent finish. 241009
