Descripción
Brouwerij St. Bernardus is a Belgian brewery located in Watou, Flanders, Belgium. It is known for producing high-quality Belgian beers, particularly Trappist-style ales.
The brewery was originally founded in 1946 by Evarist Deconinck, who was a cheese maker at the time. He decided to start brewing beer using the recipes and yeast strains from the nearby Trappist monastery of Saint Sixtus of Westvleteren. The brewery was initially named “Sint-Sixtusabdij van Westvleteren” but changed its name to Brouwerij St. Bernardus in 1992.
Brouwerij St. Bernardus is not officially recognized as a Trappist brewery, as it is not located within the walls of a monastery. However, it continues to use the same recipes and yeast strains as the Trappist monastery, resulting in beers that are often considered to be on par with the Trappist beers in terms of quality and flavor.
The brewery produces a range of beers, including their flagship beer, St. Bernardus Abt 12, which is a dark quadrupel ale with rich flavors of dark fruits, caramel, and spices. Other popular beers from Brouwerij St. Bernardus include the Prior 8, Tripel, and Witbier.
Brouwerij St. Bernardus is known for its commitment to traditional brewing methods and using only the finest ingredients. The beers are brewed using water from the brewery’s own well, malted barley, hops, and the unique yeast strains that have been passed down from the Trappist monastery.
The brewery’s beers have received numerous awards and accolades over the years, solidifying their reputation as one of the top Belgian breweries. Brouwerij St. Bernardus beers are highly sought after by beer enthusiasts around the world and can be found in specialty beer shops and bars in many countries.
