The recipe originates from the 14th century.The balance between the
different malts, the fine hops and the typical taste of herbs creates a
perfect harmony between the powerful taste of brown beers and the freshness or light blond beers.This aromatic light brown beer is at his best served cool.
Petrus Dubbel Bruin (or Petrus Double Brown Ale) is a top fermented dark beer with a subtle and slightly caramelized flavour; It is brewed with pure spring water and carefully selected hops and malts. Petrus Dubbel Bruin is preferably served cool.
This is a particularly good blonde beer with lots of strong, clean citric
hop character throughout. The orange peel that is included amongst the
ingredients tends to only come through in the nose. This beer is great when
served straight from the fridge as a little of the freshness is lost as it
warms up.
This beer, with high fermentation, has a pale amber colour and a flowery,
fruity taste with a harmonious balance between sweet and sour. This beer
has a thick and vivid froth and strikes its balanced taste with a delicate
bitterness.
A top-fermented beer, Grimbergen Blonde boasts a lovely golden-yellow robe,

Gentse Strop is a blond Belgian speciality beer with high fermentation and
bottle fermentation. It has a fruity aroma and subtle hopping. It owes its
name to the proud people of Ghent, nicknamed Òslings carriersÓ.The beer is brewed by Brouwerij Roman, established in Mater, a borough of
Oudenaard. Oudenaarde and Ghent have a rich history as a pivotal figure in
common with Charles. The revolt of Ghent in 1540 against Charles V gave
them their nickname Òslings carriersÓ but Oudenaarde is also the birthplace
of the illegitimate daughter of Charles, Margaret of Parma. And then
thereÕs the Oudenaardse figure Hanske Warrior who was the lookout but
because he had drunk too much beer fell and sleep and so had not seen how
Charles and his troops invaded the city of Oudenaarde.As the icing on the cake, the historic year of 1545 was also the year that
the Roman family brewery started.
Arabier is a pure malt beer brewed with flower Nugget-hops from Poperinge.
It has the special dry-hopping taste and aroma, so appreciated by beer
lovers all over the world. It is one of the two main beers from De Dolle
Brouwers throughout the year. Aging time is limited due to the fact that
hop bitterness is declining with the time
Oerbier means original, from the source. This beer has been brewed in small
scale (5 gallons) at home in a copper wash kettle, by two brothers who were
students at the time. They took over an old brewery which was out of
business and said: “If we don’t bring the brewery back to life, nobody
will!” It was also a unique opportunity to create some interesting brews,
so why not try it? Therefore we went ahead. We did the main work ourselves
and kept the scale of the brewery as it was. Since then, the brewery and
its beers have been an inspiration for a lot of brewers. Oerbier is brewed
from all different malts, Poperinge Golding hops in flowers and a special
yeast which makes it a little tart, especially with aging. At the brewery
we have excellent cellars which have a constant temperature of 8¡C allowing
Oerbier to age at its best.After a couple of years Oerbier tastes like it has been blended with wineÉ
Oerbier has been refermented in the bottle and contains a layer of yeast,
having vitamins B. NAT en STRAF on the glasses means WET and STRONG, a
warning for the 9 vol. alcohol content. The little person on the glasses is
the Oerbier man, a simple creature who holds a brewers fork in his right
hand, symbolizing the work and science, but looking to the other side, the
result of all this, the glass of (Oer)beer. The artwork on the poster is a
wall painting found in Spain (Altamira) and is considered by art lovers as
being the best prehistoric art work (30.000 years BC). On the other hand we
have Oerbier started in 1980, continuing the tradition.Since 2000 as the yeast supply ceased, we installed a new yeast propagator.
The tart aftertaste is obtained by lacto bacterial fermentation (since
2005).
