Van Honsebrouck

In 1900, Emiel and Louisa Van Honsebrouck bought a small farm in Ingelmunster, Belgium and started a brewery. Their sons, Paul and Ernest, joined the family business in 1922. Thirty-one years later, in 1953, the now near-legendary Luc Van Honsebrouck became the brewer and soon had the brewery specializing in beers of high quality. In 1986, the Van Honsebrouck family purchased and restored an historic castle which was built in 1705 by Robrecht de Fries, count of Flanders. This castle was built on top of the ruins of a convent that was itself constructed over an by abbey first built by English monks in 1640. Medieval basements remained the foundation when the castle was rebuilt in 1736. The brewer family Van Honsebrouck bought the castle in 1986, restored it and opened it for public. The cellars of the castle are used to mature beers from the brewery.


Kasteel Rouge

ABV: 8%

Wetten Importers

Castle Red is the fruit beer of the Castle range. Its unique dark red color is obtained by mixing Kasteel Donker (brown) that has been left to mature for at least 6 months with sour cherries. This beer has gastronomic qualities and can be drunk as an aperitif, with a barbeque, to accompany a dessert or simply as an outstanding real ale.


Kasteel Bruin Donker (Brown) Ale Ale

ABV: 11%

Wetten Importers

A huge beer with a deep fruitiness and a Port-like finish. It is smooth on the palate, rich, dark and strong. 



Kasteel Gouden Tripel

ABV: 11%

Wetten Importers

Kasteelbier Gouden Tripel is characterized by its outstanding blend of Noble malts and hops, which lend it a refined aroma and exceptional flavor. Beer guru Michael Jackson describes it as "soft, creamy, nutty, and rounded, with a vanilla note."  



Kasteel Cuvee du Chateau

ABV: 11%

Wetten Importers

The Cuvée du Château truly crowns 20 years of
craftsmanship. Both the aroma and the taste of the Cuvée du Château are those of a matured Castle Dark that has been allowed to evolve in all tranquility in our cellars for ten years. The elegant velvet maturity of the dark brown ale, with hints of roasted and caramelized malt, followed by a subtle bitter undertone of English hops in the aftertaste, turns this prestigious ale into a complete gastronomic beer.


Brigand

ABV: 9%

Wetten Importers

This powerful Belgian strong pale ale beer is made in west Flanders by Van Honsebrouck.  It is a well-balanced beer with a wonderful aroma of citrus, malt and spices.  A lively strong beer with a robust flavor. Dry hopping with Saaz hops gives this ale a nice hop character.


Bacchus

ABV: 9%

Wetten Importers

 

In 1798, the Flemish peasants (the "brigands") drove the French soldiers (the) out of Ingel Munster. Following the example of these defenders of liberty of the past, Brigand beer is strong and potent. This blond-colored beer owes its full-bodied and slightly bitter taste to the quality of the hops. Should be served at 8°C.

St. Louis Framboise

ABV: 4.5%

Wetten Importers

This brew is made with fresh raspberry juice which is matured and blended with gueuze-lambic to produce a dry, sweet aperitif. 



St. Louis Gueze Fond Tradition

ABV: 5%

Wetten Importers

This beer pours golden in color with a thin head. Taste of sour apricots with a wood and earthy aroma. Crisp and dry.
