Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!

De Garre

De Garre

De Garre has been serving brews since the 1700s and it’s not an easy destination to find in Bruges. The house beer is brewed by Van Steenberge which is a tripel at 11% alcohol. Servings are limited to 3 per person .
.
Brouwerij Van Steenberge is also responsible for the brewing of Gulden Draak and Piraat.
Tripel De Garre is presented in a heavy duty champagne-style 750ml cork and caged bottle adorned in gold lettering. This alcohol heavy tripel pours a hazy copper orange with a huge rocky head. On the aroma is alcohol heat, plain white crackers, bubblegum, and medicinal notes that has traces of cough drops.
.
The mouthfeel is very dry and the high carbonation level gives the beer a fluffiness that I’ve not experienced in a tripel before. After warming for a while some toffee becomes present helping to lessen the alcoholic heat just a bit. Now I can see why people would make the pilgrimage to that historic watering hole in Bruges.
