Blogs and recipes
Recipe – Belgian Dubbel
The Belgian Dubbel is a rich, malty beer style that has captivated beer enthusiasts with its deep flavours and fascinating history. Originating in Belgium, this beer is closely linked to Trappist breweries, where monks have crafted exceptional brews for centuries.
Recipe – Christmas beer
During the winter holidays, many people enjoy beers with a higher alcohol content and more richness, like our Christmas beer recipe. As a result, many breweries produce unique seasonal drinks. These beers are often darker, stronger, and spicier.
Caramel malts
Caramel malts have come a long way, but their roots go back to traditional kilning techniques. Brewers once covered kilns with tarpaulins to trap moisture while heating green malt to 60–75°C. After two hours, the starch inside fully converted to sugars.
