Breugem Heet & Stout

Today’s beer review is about another amazing beer from Breugem the Heet & Stout. This was the second beer we drank from our beer box.

We weren’t quite sure what to expect from this beer except that it’s a stout and probably spicy. Well we weren’t wrong. The first sip we took overwhelmed us with the different flavours. As someone who loves unique beers, this one is definitely a must try.
We were so impressed by the flavour of the beer that we rated it a 9 out of 10! As we are used to the design is on point. Red colour to indicate it’s spicy ingredient with the small pepers above the “Zaanse sambal”. An 8 out of 10.

For our beer enthusiast:

Mout: Maris Otter Pale Ale, Brown, Black, Crystal
Hop: Willamette, Marynka
Gist: Lallemand London Divers: tinctuur obv wodka 50% met gerookte pepers, Habanero, Naga Jolokia en rode chili
Bitterheid: 42 EBU
Alcoholpercentage: 8%

Once again a beautifull and unique beer of the brewers of Brouwerij Breugem.

Cheers!

Breugem Kracht Hout

Breugem might be our new favourite brewery with their amazing selection of beers.

We were lucky to get a box (yes a box) full of their beers. So we thought it is time to start drinking and reviewing the beers, starting with the Kracht Hout. The description of the beer on their site is: “A powerful quadrupel with Palo Santo wood. Patrick Breugem and Derek Walsh have taken on the challenge of adding this unique wood to this beer. The result is a prize-winning beer! Gold in the “Innovation Special, Wood-bearing” category, Dutch Beer Challenge 2017″. We could definitly taste why it won prices. The flavour is quite complex due to the Palo Santo- wood. It contains the taste of caramel, vanilla and coconut and it has an alcohol percentage of 11%. It is truly delicious to drink!

The bitterness is: 28 EBU (European Bitternes Unit).
These ingredients combined with the beer crafting (art) skills of Breugem created this masterpiece. We loved it so much we give it a 9 for the flavour!

Not only the flavour is incredible, you can also see they have put a lot of effort in the design of the bottle. It’s clean, referencing to the location of the brewery (the Zaan) and it has a colour scheme which fits the name (‘hout’ dutch for ‘wood’). Therefore we would like to give the design of the bottle a 8.5.

We can’t wait to drink the rest of the beers and give you a Honest Review!

Brouwerij Breugem Caramba

Ay, Ay, Caramba! Brewery Breugem launched their new Mexican Lager and we had the opportunity to be one of the first persons to give it a try!

The Caramba has a low alcohol percentage of 3,5% and is therefore perfect to drink with warm weather. We both loved the beer! Luckily for us, we were able to drink a few at the launch!
The beer has a fresh and fruity taste which makes it very refreshing to drink. It also hasn’t got a bitter aftertaste which is very nice! Since Ay, Ay, Caramba is now available I would say, go get yourself some bottles and enjoy this beer with some friends (and with a sombrero on your head of course )! Don’t forget to swing by at their socials at @brouwerijbreugem
