About
In 1872, Jules Vanneste bought the ‘t Hamerken distillery. In 1889, he took the step of definitively converting the distillery into a brewery. Soon, ‘t Hamerken top-fermentation beers became a household name in the Bruges area. Brewing continued till 1982.

In 1983, Paul Vanneste (great-grandson of the founder) founded the new De Gouden Boom brewery in collaboration with Frank Boon Brewery from Lembeek. In 1985 Brouwerij De Gouden Boom is granted a licence to brew the STEENBRUGGE abbey beers.

On 16 November 2001, PALM brewery acquired a majority interest in Brouwerij De Gouden Boom and in 2003 it was completely taken over by Palm Brewery. In the same year the Prior of St Peter’s Abbey in Steenbrugge licensed PALM Breweries to brew STEENBRUGGE abbey beers.

Since 2004 production of Bruges beers has been relocated to the PALM Breweries site in Steenhuffel.

0.33l bottle. Clear brown body with a ruby hue and a beige head. The beer shows fruity notes (think about orange zest, pears), some cocoa, caramel and toast from the malts and also a touch of floral hops. Medium body and carbonation. The finish lasts quite long. Nice dubbel.

0.33l bottle. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Simple witbier that's a bit restrained in the aroma but shows the classic characteristics of the style in the sip. Coriander and orange zest appear with some perfume and sugar syrup. OK beer.
