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.

750ml bottle. Poured a very light, pale hazy yellow color, with a generous white head. Aroma was wheat, notes of yeast, bubble gum, a touch of tart fruit towards the back. Flavor is quite similar, yeast notes, subtle tart fruit, spices. It was pretty refreshing. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.

6.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 5.5
0.33l bottle. Pours a clear golden unfiltered body with a big bubbly white head. Aroma is nice and light yeasty with some sweet peachy and fruity notes. Watery mouthfeeling and average carbonated. Flavors are mild yeasty and fruity-sweet with more peaches and mild caramel. A note of alcohol in the finish perhaps? and it's leaving a light malty and semi-dry aftertaste.
