grand cru
2023-2025

Born from our relentless pursuit of perfection, Karmeliet Grand Cru embodies the essence of Tripel Karmeliet taken to new heights. The first edition introduced a fourth grain, rye, enriching the classic three-grain recipe with smoothness and subtle notes of vanilla. In 2024, the Tripel Distilled Edition pushed craftsmanship even further, revealing a deeper harmony of aromas and flavours.

Karmeliet Grand Cru 2025

In our relentless pursuit of perfection, we have taken Tripel Distilled to new horizons.


Where the arts of distilling and barrel aging harmonize, this limited edition transcends tradition. After a meticulous triple distillation, the essence of Tripel Karmeliet, enriched with its signature spices, is aged in Mizunara oak barrels. These oak trees require centuries to mature, making the wood exceedingly rare, and barrels that are fiercely difficult to craft yet revered for the depth they impart. The maceration is then gently infused back into the beer, creating a marriage of distillate and beer that reveals new depths.

Karmeliet Grand Cru 2023

Karmeliet Grand Cru, the first exclusive limited edition.​​
In November 2023, during the relentless pursuit of perfection for Tripel Karmeliet, a new exclusive beer was born: Karmeliet Grand Cru.​ Karmeliet Grand Cru has been brewed with the same expertise as our Tripel Karmeliet. To the three grains that compose it - barley, wheat, and oats - a fourth has been added: rye. Sublime on the palate, Karmeliet Grand Cru is a distinctive beer, notably for its more pronounced smooth finish and remarkable touch of freshness.​


In addition to the fourth grain, this beer is aged on wood, providing extra flavors such as elegant notes of vanilla. A second natural fermentation or refermentation, whether in bottles or barrels, enhances its fruity aromas.​
Volume d’alcool : 9.4%
