A 100% Belgian beer advent calendar.
That's what we're going to talk about for a few minutes.
Belgian beers are a great classic among beer lovers around the world.
We have opted to select our 2022 Belgian beer calendar for 24 different beers which represent the brewing diversity of Belgium with well-known and lesser-known beers.
The calendar contains beers from Belgian breweries with very different profiles such as family breweries known to everyone but also lots of new microbreweries which have emerged in recent years.
Our Belgian beer calendar is assembled in Brussels, Belgium and we ship it throughout the European Union with shipping costs adapted to the country of destination.
If you already know Belgian beers well, you can opt for one of our regional calendars dedicated to each Belgian province. These contain at least 12 beers from the Belgian province whose calendar you have chosen.
This year, we recommend the calendar for the Namur and Liège regions if you don't know which one to choose.
We end by answering a few questions that you may be asking yourself:
- Possible to order several calendars per order for the same address
- No hassle to add a personalized message for the calendar recipient
- Invoice on request
- Calendars are in stock and ready to ship
- The boxes are ultra resistant, no need to worry
- The beer selection is different from last year
- The calendar weighs 16 kilos
- Delivery is from 3.50€ and we deliver throughout the European Union
Tripel beer
The “tripel” beer has its origins in the abbeys.
At the time when the monks brewed their own beers, they produced four beers: table beer, double, triple and occasionally quadruple beers.
Each style was a multiple of three to express the alcohol level of the beer. The different styles were actually a benchmark for consumers. The company being very hierarchical, kept the best products for the highest social strata.
Strong ales like the triple were reserved for large events or important members of the clergy and their visitors. Stronger in alcohol, they were also better designed, as the monks allowed more time for them when brewing. Because the longer the mashing, the more sugars are present in the must; part of this sugar will then be transformed into alcohol during fermentation.
Even though everyone thinks that triples are all blondes and doubles are all brunettes, this prejudice was born when the Westmalle Tripel was released. After this event, breweries started making doubles which were brown and triples which were blonde. But it has never been officially decreed that color was a binding factor, nor an obligation for the triple beer appellation.
There are still a few examples of beers that do not respect this rule. The Strubbe Brewery brews a double beer which is amber in color, and a triple beer which is brown; proof that color is not a legislated characteristic.
