Piraat AleIn the 17th and 18th centuries, strong ales like Piraat were highly prized by the seafaring captains for their keeping qualities and healthy food value. The daily distribution of a pint of this ale kept the pirates in good health and gave them the spirit to survive the hard life on the sea. There was no water on a ship, just wine or strong beer that could be kept for months on the sea. Piraat is a wickedly rich Triple Flemish IPA; a rounded brew that packs a mighty punch. The powerful glow builds up from inside. Deep golden with a subtle haze, lots of hops and malt with a mild sweetness. Reminiscent of bread dough, spices and tropical fruits, Piraat pairs wonderfully with fish and meat. It is often appreciated as an after dinner beer and cigar lovers claim there is no better beer to enjoy with a cigar! |

A Belgian-style ale with a wild twist, a dose of Brettanomyces yeast and a blast of dry hopping. Funkhouse Ale is a strong blonde ale with a sharp citrus flavor that, like the other Ommegang ales, has a dry finish; a terrific summer beer! Its dryness and funkiness begat the name of Ommegeddon for the time when the forces of light and dark battle for world dominion. It's time for you to pick your side!
