A legacy not to be forgotten

Brewed using a 3-grain recipe rediscovered from the 1679 Carmelite monastery, Tripel Karmeliet blends nature’s gifts of barley, oats and wheat to produce a multi-layered tripel, refined yet balanced, with soft fruity notes and a surprisingly delicate taste.​
This timeless beer is the embodiment of our relentless pursuit of beauty.​

The Perfect Serve

To achieve perfection follow these simple steps:

Item Image (21).png
01

Serve only between 6-9°C. Hold the glass at 45°, and pour the bottle horizontally. Continue pouring in the centre of the glass bringing the glass almost to a vertical grand finale. ​

02

If too little froth forms while pouring, elevate the bottle higher. Correctly served the head must reach from the top of the lilies to the brim of the glass.​

03

Leave approximately 5 mm of beer in the bottle (this contains a yeast deposit). Optionally, add the yeast deposit afterwards. Enjoy a classic Belgian Tripel, served to perfection.
