Brouwerij Huyghe
Associated with 2 Venues
Established in 1872
The brewhouse consists of three kettles from 1946 and a wort filter from 2014. The kettles are made of red copper and are “hammered” by hand into the existing shapes. The capacity is 3000 kg deposit. In the past, brews of 250 to 300 hl of lager were produced with this. Today we brew 110 hl per brew since the current beers are of a much higher density.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 31.12.2027) im 2024-11 getrunken. Dieses dunkle Ale zeigt deutlich die mitgebrauten Kirschen und eine schönen malzigen Körper, der an ein Belgisches Dubbel erinnert. Alles zusammen wie die Säure der Kirschen und die malzige Süße zeigt sich wunderbar harmonisch. Ein klasse Ale!

33cL bottled 7/25/24, drunk 12/5/24. Clear, dark. Small, dark beige head. Spicy phenol, a bit of alcohol. Not hot alcohol, but it's there. Special B malts adding raisin, date, fig and such...Nothing too elegant. Kinda waxy, some raw yeast..etc... Strong, rich, malty, sweet, sugary. It is pretty malty, at least. Spice, phenol, moderate malt, bread, sugar. Eh, it's pretty brutish, like most of these Belgian xmas ales....

Color miel claro, turbia, corona de espuma blanca, densa, abundante y resistente, dejando un bonito encaje de Bruselas en la copa. Aroma a levadura, pan , repostería, fruta de hueso madura, especias y mucha presencia de lúpulo. En boca se siente con bastante cuerpo, primer trago dulce y maltoso con notas de repostería y mermelada de melocotón, final marcadamente amargo, especiado y algo herbal. Buena cerveza, muy rica

Bottle, 75cl corked. An almost clear one, reddish copper colored and with a quite small off-white head. Cherry and cherry pit aroma with a gentle backdrop of a Belgian ale. Faintly spiced, some dark dried fruit and caramel. It’s full-bodied and nicely carbonated, semi-sweet, with a mostly fruity flavor. Dark dried fruit, cherry, cherry pits and cocktail cherries. Lasting finish. A bit too much on the cherry side, but it’s nice anyway. 241129
