Love to surprise our friends with a fresh cool climate white wine from Château Bon Baron. Belgian Muscat wine from Dutch winemaker Jeanette van der Steen. 2019 vintage, so 6 years old but still a lively and dry wine that wil match well with quite a few dishes.

1894 was brewed to celebrate De Brabandere Brewery’s 120th birthday. The brewers were challenged to create a hoppy beer based on Petrus Aged Pale. The result is a slightly sour IPA , where a hoppy tripel meets the crisp, tangy complexity of barrel-aged sour beer. 🇧🇪
