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.

Gylden brun klar med høyt kremete offwhite skum. Lukter toffee. Kjenner at alkoholen har gått opp noen hakk fra Blonden. Søt. Fyldig karamell. Kort medium bitter avslutning.

Gylden brun klar med lavt hvitt skum. Lukter belgisk gjær, kandissukker og fudge. Søt fyldig smak, fudge. Kort bitter avslutning. Sitter igjen med søt, stikky munnfølelse.

.5 L at St. Arnold’s Mussel Bar in Washington DC. Poured a hazy golden yellow color with a small, fluffy white head. Aroma was fruity yeast notes, lots of sweet sugar, some straw. Alcohol comes out a bit in this one. Light floral notes on the finish. Okay.

33 cl. bottle @ restaurant Eten en Drinken, Geldermalsen. Golden with a big white head. Fruity sweet aroma with faint hops. Taste is sweet. Rather one-dimensional but not unpleasant blond beer.

33 cl. bottle @ restaurant Eten en Drinken, Geldermalsen. Clear brown with an off-white head. Caramel aroma. Sweet malty taste. Too simple and thin Abbey dubbel. Quite boring actually.
