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, 6.5%. Fruity aroma, dusty and chalky. Clear dark golden colour. OK stable white head. The flavour is very fruity, almost like candy. Perhaps also a hint of metal. Low bitterness. Not especially impressive.

Bottle @ home. Cloudy yellow colour, white foam. Medium carbonation. Watery with hints of citrus. Also some coriander. Light tart notes but also sweet. Easy drinkable, not a lot of character.

Amarilla clara. Turbia sin sedimento. Espuma notable, 2-3 dedos muy blanca. Aroma especiado y cítrico. Seca y con cuerpo medio. Muy especiada, pimienta y clavo. Bastante carbónica también. Refrescante.

Ámbar clara, algo turbia. Espuma reducida que desaparece pronto. Aroma a malta y caramelo. En boca redonda. Bastante cuerpo, muy rico sabor a malta y caramelo, en un conjunto potente por el alcohol a pero muy bien redondeada sin tapar ningún matiz, y dejando un estupendo posgusto.
