Description
Leo Brand begon in 1986 met brouwerij Sint Christoffel in Roermond in een hal achter zijn woonhuis. Binnen een paar maanden realiseerde hij er met zijn vrouw een professionele moderne bierbrouwerij. Nadat Leo Brand klein begonnen was in de binnenstad van Roermond, is de brouwerij in 1995 verhuisd naar de Roervallei, net buiten Roermond. Hierbij nam middels de aanschaf van een nieuw professioneel brouwhuis, gist- en lagerkelder de brouwcapaciteit flink toe.

Omdat hij geen opvolger had verkocht Leo Brand het bedrijf in 2001 aan Jeroen Hillenaar. Sinds augustus 2009 werd het management van ‘Sint Christoffel Bier’ eigenaar van de brouwerij geworden door middel van een managementbuy-out. Op 16 januari 2013 werd brouwerij Sint Christoffel failliet verklaard.

Op 1 augustus 2013 vond er een doorstart plaats zijn onder de vlag van de brouwerijhuurder Sint Christoffel Bieren BV in Breda. De bieren worden gebrouwen in de Belgische Proefbrouwerij te Lochristi. In 2015 werd de naam van de brouwerij gewijzigd in Sint Christoffel Bieren en in 2017 werd het Speciaalbierbrouwerij St. Christoffel.

I was pleasantly surprised with this beer, a good union between weiss and IPA, wheat and hop, the bitterness dominates at the final, 28.01.18, at one Albert Heijn, Amsterdam zuid, tasting it with pleasure at Hoofdrool, at my rented house.

Bottle. Dark color, nice head that disappears quickly with some lace. Aroma, is ever so slightly raisin with malty hay. Taste is balance between hop and malt with emphasis on malt.

Hazy golden pour with a big frothy dense head. Bug aroma if hops, lemon and some honey. Flavour is very hoppy with some good pale malts. Medium bodied the alcohol causes the beer to be tad sweet and seems to thicken it a bit. Overall it’s like a suped up version of their regular christoffel bier.

a nice dark amber/brown pour, looks to be unfiltered. Frothy light beige head. Aroma of fruit cake, bready chewy malts, and some subtle fruit, with maybe some molasses cookies. Mouthfeel is thick, and the flavor is sweet, and chewy. Nice sweet malts with touches of ripe fruit, and more of that nice bready fruit cake. Another great beer from this brewery.

Nice dark ruby color. Very small to no head. Sweet malt aroma, with some subtle fruit. Flavour is again, quite malty, and sweet. I find it quite similar to a very malty barley wine minus the alcohol. Nice beer.
