Associated Venue: Huisbrouwerij Achilles

Established in 1999
Description
The microbrewery is founded by Achilles Van de Moer on the passion for special beers. After 7 years of trials with different beers, the decision to start a microbrewery in Itegem was made in 1999. The brand name of beers is “Serafijn”. All beers are high fermentation brews, with second fermentation in the bottle. Most of the beers are contract brewed, but some of them are also brewed at their own location.
In 2015 Achilles became part of Caupona bvba (of the Prik & Tik stores in Heist-op-den-Berg and Herselt). The brewery is now called ''Brouwerij Serafijn.'' That is the new company in Heist that houses the Serafijn beers. The former microbrewery in Itegem has been dismantled.
The beer is now brewed at the Pirlot brewery in Zandhoven.

bouteille 33cl. Dorée, blanche- opaque. Arôme est houblonné et fleuri avec note sucrée allant sur le sureau. En bouche, une bière légère présentant un profile levure belge, fine note de malt pale et un peu de caramel ainsi que une touche sucrée. Le tout se mélange bien à un houblon qui reste fleuri et finement amer avec un fini citronné présentant une note d’épice.

Bottle at home, from Utobeer. A serious gusher, this one. Pours cloudy gold with a light, white head. Lots of alcohol on the nose with notes of caramel and candi sugar. Flavor is a bit heavy handed, lots of sugar, cereal and grainy malts, bit of apple and caramel. Full bodied with medium carbonation. Finishes boozy with strong notes of rubbing alcohol, more sugar and modest yeast. Not super enjoyable, but perhaps I just wasn’t in the mood for this kind of experience. Would work well as a disinfectant, no matter the mood.
