Description
It started as a hobby. In 2012, four brewery friends decided to join their tasty tripel in the Brouwland Beer Competition. From a selection of more than 90 beers, our Bryggja was voted the best hobby beer in Belgium by a professional jury. The start of a great adventure! We took this opportunity with both hands and chose a name, bottle, a suitable design for our label ... With the Bruges Beer Festival 2013, our beer was launched. We brewed externally and the sales went beyond all expectations. The following year our 2nd beer "Amuse" came on the market. A spicy beer that is very suitable as an aperitif beer. At the end of 2014, the decision was made to fully go ahead and start our own brewery. We found a building in Moerkerke and in the spring of 2015 the brewing installation was installed. We only work with Belgian hops and can therefore also use the official logo. Our beer is a traditional product, with us no extracts, no flavor or foam enhancers. We like to keep it pure nature.

Thanks to mom for the bottle! Hazy dark orange, small, off-white head. Aroma of ripe mango, peach, pineapple, tangerine, biscuit, yeast, vague cheese. Taste has sweet mango & tangerine, sourish citrus flesh over biscuity maltiness. Floral hoppy finish with bitter tropical fruit, citrus peel & yeast. Medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Not bad, could have been fresher.
