Strong Ale (Belgian Beer)
Delirium Tremens 8.5%
A bright golden beer with a dense white head, a sweet fruity flavour and lots of warming alcohol. It's made with Czech Saaz hops and Styrian Goldings and fermented with three different yeasts.
Kwak 8.4%
Kwak is a deep amber beer with a rich white head. The aroma is of caramel and dried fruit, while a sweet malt body with honey and liquorice notes precedes a toffee finish. Known primarily for its famous stirrup glass and wooden stand, Pauwel Kwak translates as Fat Paul, an enterprising innkeeper who legend tells us developed the chevalier glass to sell beer to passing coachmen.
Duvel 8.5%
Up-front there's apple and pear, then a clean and very refreshing malt character, followed by a lingering dry hop finish.

Blonde Beers (Belgian Beer)
Brugse Zot Blonde 6%
Named Brugse Zot or "Bruges Fool", a historic nickname given to the town folk of Bruges, this golden beer should not be taken lightly. Brewed at the Halve Maan in Bruges, Brugse Zot gains its sweet body from four different malts, while two aromatic hop varieties give the beer a big, hoppy aroma and a satisfying dry finish.
Vedett IPA 6%
Every drop as thirst-quenching as the last, Vedett IPA offers an explosion of flavoursome bitterness that increases with intensity towards the finish, tempered by an unparalleled velvety smoothness resulting in a very accessible taste.
Lager and pilsner (Belgian Beer)
Jupiler 5.2%
Jupiler is the No. 1 selling beer in Belgium, the land of beers. The soft bitter lager is brewed using the best ingredients according to a flawless craftsmanship.
Vedett Extra 5.2%
Crisp, dry lager beer from Duvel Moortgat. Vedett is a commendable well-hopped and seriously drinkable pilsner lager.
Wheat and Saison (Belgian Beer)
Vedett White 4.7%
A deliciously aromatic and spicy Belgian wit beer. Fantastically drinkable and a great summer drink because of its surprisingly crisp finish.
Trappist Beers (Belgian Beer)
Rochefort 6 (Amber) 7.8%
An amber strong ale, which pours a lovely copper colour and smells slightly of caramel and herbs. It is the driest of the three Rochefort beers but still has the deep fruit flavours that make the brewery so special, and the 6 makes a wonderful aperitif.
Rochefort 8 (Dubbel) 9.2%
A stunning beer from one of Belgium's six Trappist breweries. It pours deep caramel brown with a thick, off-white head. Rich fruit cake aroma, dark chocolate and full malt body backed by a warming alcohol mouthfeel.
Rochefort 10 (Quad) 11.3%
One of the best beers in the world and rightly revered as a Trappist masterpiece. Deep mahogany in colour, with a creamy head and an enticing aroma of raisin, cherry and figs. It's loaded with dark fruits, satisfying biscuit malt and caramel, before a sweet alcohol burn and a dry finish.
