Description
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.

Bottle. Nose is wheat, banana, slight spice, bubblegum. Taste is wheat light malt, very pronounced bubblegum, leading to a dry finish with spice, almost a hint of licorice. Passable

Bottle from Beer 52. Typical Belgian aroma of bubblegum with added yeast. Pours a golden yellow with a strong frothy white head. In the mouth it is bananas parexcellence. Cloves and honey come through after a while and it’s all on a sweet malt base. Finish is mainly spices. A good solid Belgian blonde.
