Steenbrugge is a range of abbey beers brewed by Palm Breweries – this means that a contribution is made to the abbey at Steenbrugge for every case of beer sold. This contribution goes towards the charitable work undertaken by the monks at the abbey.

Gruut – this is a blend of herbs and spices. Historically, gruut was used by some brewers in place of hops. The result is a more refined taste profile, with an absence of hop bitterness. Steenbrugge Abbey Ales are brewed with a secret gruut blend – making each one a particularly different taste experience.

Steenbrugge Wit | 5.0% a.b.v. | Belgium

Steenbrugge Blonde | 6.5% a.b.v. | Belgium

Steenbrugge Bruin | 6.5% a.b.v. | Belgium

Steenbrugge Tripel | 9.0% a.b.v. | Belgium

Tripels are, by their nature, either particularly fruity or dry and hoppy.  Steenbrugge Tripel is most definitely the former - aromas of lemon, apricot, sour apple and other fruits are in evidence in Steenbrugge Tripel. This follows through in the taste of this beer, which develops with notes of dried apricot, white raisins and peppery spiciness. 
For an easier drinking introduction to the tripel style (albeit, with a rich helping of alcohol) Steenbrugge Tripel is ideal.
