Description
Used to be a client brewer till 2021 brewing circus-themed beers.

In 2021, the brewery moved to the old warehouse at the entrance along Blokkellestraat, which was a workshop of the electricity factory with supply via the railway line that ran next to it. Thanks to the Circus Brewery, it is once again bustling with activity.

Up to 2500 hl of barley water per year, five 1000 l lager and fermentation tanks, two of 2000 l and two of 500 l. The director himself cannot master that much and that is why our beer is also available to you, loyal fans and bon vivants. B'brew came from exotic Roeselare to put together this installation and did an excellent job.

All Circus Brewery classics are brewed here, but other brewers can also lose their beer egg here. A 500 liter installation like ours, which is professionally equipped, is perfect for trying out new recipes by larger breweries or by the hobbyist.

Bottle, 6C. Unclear orange amber with a dense cm of white head. Some floaties. Herbal aroma with some citrus, light dough, stone fruit. A bit medicinal, but the herbs are not overwhelming. In the taste they get a bit out of hand and the whole thing is a little fly spray -like. But the light dough and bitterness are OK underneath. Just a bit much - maybe a fair bit much.

Donkergeel bier met mooi stevig schuim. Smaak is fruitig en bitter hoppig met wat ananas, abrikoos, grapfruit en een beetje hars. Degelijke en smaakvolle IPA.

Out of date 33cl bottle in Cafe Botteltje, Ostend on 10th November 2025. Brown/amber body, not much of a head. Spiced gingerbread taste, fairly sweet and 'mellow' in nature. Liked it.
