grimbergen brassin de noël

December not only heralds Advent, the hunt for Christmas gifts, and the holiday season, but also kicks off the Christmas beer season. After a long, cold, gloomy, and wet November, we all yearn for festive candlelight, powdery snow on the rooftops, cheerful Christmas music, delicious cookies, and cozy hours in front of a crackling fireplace. Breweries around the world are embracing the pre-Christmas spirit, providing us with beers that pair perfectly with gingerbread, snow flurries, and snuggling up on the couch.

One of these brews is Brassin de Noël from the Grimbergen brewery. This copper-gold creation is brewed every year, punctually at the start of the festive season, and boasts a warming 6.5% alcohol by volume. Beyond its lively kick, this Christmas specialty delivers a soul-soothing flavor profile composed of delicately melting caramel notes, hearty grain, ripe fruit, and spicy licorice. A symphony of toffee, rosy-cheeked apples, and other stone fruits meets rum-soaked fruit and warm spices on the palate. The robust sweetness is balanced by a subtle bitterness.

Grimbergens Brassin de Noël is the perfect beer to put your feet up after a long Advent Saturday amidst the shopping hustle and bustle, watch a romantic film and get into the Christmas spirit by candlelight!
