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.

0.33l bottle. Murky orangish golden body with a lasting white head. Aroma of orange zest, coriander, lemon zest, bready malts and a bit of peach. Taste of bready malts, sugar syrup, coriander, orange zest and some floral hops. Sweet, fruity and spicy at the same time. It could have a bit thicker body but still, I could drink this beer anytime. Very well made tripel.

I was quite pleased to see a 750 ml bottle of Steenbrugge Tripel available at a Total Wine in Ft. Worth over last Thanksgiving. I have cooled it off and opening it now. Foil wrapped, caged and corked like a bottle of champagne. Interesting. I pour into my Cowtown tulip glass, from Ft. Worth also. It arrives a dark gold-orange with a thin but persistent pure white top. I take a sniff, yellow fruit, honey and lightly floral. And finally a drink. A little peach, a little apricot, grain, a bit of sweetness. Decently bitter. Something just doesn't come together here, overall far from the top tripel for me.
