Story & Heritage

ABOUT THIS BEER

Bosteels of Buggenhout, the family brewery behind Kwak and Tripel Karmeliet, set out to make a beer that could sit at a Champagne table. DeuS is brewed in Belgium, then shipped to the Champagne region of France to be matured by the methode traditionnelle, riddled on racks and disgorged exactly as a sparkling wine would be. The result is one of the strongest and most refined beers in Belgium: a pale, intensely effervescent biere brut with a fine bead, floral and white-grape notes, and a bone-dry finish. It is poured from a corked bottle into a flute, blurring the line between beer and Champagne.

On the Belgian Strong Golden Ale style, Deceptively drinkable strong ale. Pale color, high carbonation, and fruity/spicy yeast notes. Similar to Tripel but often lighter in body and drier.
