Story & Heritage

ABOUT THIS BEER

Brussels Beer Project launched in 2013 as a crowd-funded, deliberately experimental brewery, inviting the public to vote on its beers. Delta was the winner of that first vote and became the flagship: a hop-forward Belgian IPA that captured a city impatient for something new, and helped reopen Brussels as a brewing capital.

On the Belgian IPA style, A hybrid style combining American hop levels with Belgian yeast strains. Fruity yeast esters meet piney/citrus hop bitterness.

Rinse with cold water, not freezer-cold

02

Pour at 45°

Aim for the inside of the glass wall

03

Finish upright

Build a two-finger head for the bouquet

Swirl, sip, savour

Re-release the esters halfway through

THE MONK'S NOTE

Pour it into a tulip, served around 8-12°C, and let its aromatics open before the first sip. Enjoy it fresh and lively; there is little to gain from waiting.
