WINTERTIME? WINTERKONINCK!
The brewery's bar will be closed for a while the coming weeks, but you are still very welcome at the brewery to do your shopping at the craft shops on site. Fancy a beer? Then you can buy bottles or a crowler filled in the gift shop. That is a 1 liter can filled with De Koninck beer, fresh from tap. Or Winterkoninck! The beer was last brewed in the winter of 2014, but last winter brew master Sven Dekleermaeker decided to brew the winter beer again, on a smaller scale. This was so much appreciated that Sven went back to work for the winter of 2020-2021. At the start of the winter season you can taste a new batch of Winterkoninck. The beer is only available at the brewery during the winter months and as long as stocks last.
Winterkoninck is inspired by the popular beer Bolleke, but the brewers use more roasted malts. That’s the reason of the darker color. It also has a slightly higher alcohol level than Bolleke. The beer has the perfect balance between sweet, bitter and roasted (from the dark malt).
