About
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.

Swingtop 333 from West Lakeview Liquors in Chicago. Pours very hazy gold with a slight white head. Aromas of light stone fruit and citrus. Med body. Flavor is light stone fruit, grass, and a bit of herb. It is dry and bitter. It’s really very bitter. I like this one a lot.

0.33l bottle from CrackedKettle web shop. This is a light cloudy pale orange beer with a big and lasting light creamy and fluffy white head. The aroma is filled with cactus, lots of citrus-fruity tones, bubblegum and malts with notes of sugar and lots of hops. Really nice aroma. Average carbonation, medium-bodied with a light oily mouthfeel. Flavors are also kinda mild-fruity without going to fruity. Lots of citrus here and a good amount of malts. Ends with a distinct alcohol-touch, a dry finish and a lasting warming aftertaste. Really nice stuff!

Draft at BBF 2011, described as a barleywine by the brewer. Deep golden color, thick white head, so unusual for a barleywine, as so many sem to be flat. More fruit notes than most as well. Above average.
