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.

5.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 4 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 4.5
Flaske 0,33l på Skarven i Tromsø. Lys gylden på farge. Høyt luftig skum. Litt uklar. Aromaen er svakt krydret. Smaken likeså med tillegg av litt fruktighet. Forsiktig syrlig bitterhet. Passet bra til en herlig tørrfiskgryte. --- Beer merged from original tick of Steenbrugge Blond (Cask 2012) on 15 Feb 2014 at 04:11 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5. Original review text: Wetherspoons Victoria 2 Nov 12. JDW festivaløl. Lys gylden. Nesten ikke skum. Litt syrlig aroma. Smaken er søt frukt. Ettersmak av mandler og sherry.
