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).

Gouden Carolus Ul.t.r.a is a reduced alcohol Belgian blonde ale from
Brouwerij Het Anker. At 3.7% ABV, Gouden Carolus Ul.t.r.a is significantly
lower in alcohol than a typical Belgian blond ale, which would generally
have an ABV of 6-7%. The beer is designed to be lower in alcohol with all
the flavour of a full-strength Belgian blond, and it certainly delivers.
Pouring a golden yellow, Gouden Carolus Ul.t.r.a offers up enticing aromas
of spices, bready yeast and caramel. The flavour is balanced, with
sweetness from the malt mingling with spices and a soft bitterness from the
hops, with a dry aftertaste. Buy Gouden Carolus Ul.t.r.a for a refreshing,
flavourful Belgian blond ale you can enjoy for longer.
Arend Tripel has an intense, full flavour and is characterised by a
balanced combination of subtle bitterness and pleasant fruitiness. The
spicy after taste makes this beer a contemporary high fermentation beer.
Abbaye des Rocs (9% alcohol vol.) is a pure malt beer, with no added sugar.
The entire range of tastes is directly linked to the double fermentation, the precise quantities of malts (7 types) as well as the mixtures of three kinds of hops (Belgian, German and Czech). Its colour is a striking deep and majestic red. Its taste is rich and full of subtlety. It is tasted like a red wine with which it shares the ruby colour without having the tannin.
It develops a strong sweet smell. It confirms the initial impression in the first mouthful, with a sharp body that is balanced with a certain
fruitiness. It frees itself on the palate and develops an impressive depth of taste. Some traces of burnt wood are detectable, but never scorched even if it contains this kind of malt. The foretaste is very prolonged because of its rich and unctuous development throughout the mouth. The bitter and sugar tendencies (even though there is no sugar in its composition) compete and come back together to the taster’s great satisfaction. It is a deep, mystic and extremely mature beer to be classed among the great products of our soil.
