Help Wanne and vote for our Duvel Tripel Hop favourite

Leave a comment

Duvel Tripel Hop box

You may have noticed it yet, but Duvel has marketed a Tripel Hop Tasting Box, which includes the 6 different Duvel Tripel Hop tastes brewed so far.

  • The intention? The intention is that everyone votes for his/her favourite  anf the winner will be permanently available from 2017 on.
  • Why this appeal to you? Because The face of Tripel Hop n° 1 is Wanne, president of “De Lambikstoempers”. “I was tempted by the Amarillo-version, nice fruitiness and delicious bitternes. It’s wild and pure Rock ’n Roll in your glass”, according to Wanne. “So vote for n°1, Amarillo … and bring the original Duvel Tripel Hop – of 2007/2010 – back to life!”

6 tastes in 1 box

The classic Duvel is brewed with 2 hop: Saaz-Saaz and Styrian Golding. Since 2007, once a year the masterbrewers of Duvel also select a third hops with the result: the Duvel Tripel Hop. Meanwhile, already 6 different hops (and tastes) were used, namely: Amarillo, Citra, Sorachi Ace, Mosaic, Equinox and the experimental hop HBC291. An ambassador for each of these editions was chosen … But that isnb’t really important, because you all will vote for our president, right? 😀

The Lambikstoempers vzw organises …

Brasserie Lefebvre

Exclusive visit at Brewery Lefebvre

In principle guided tours in Brewery Lefebvre aren’t possible (for reasons of safety and hygiene), but for the Lambikstoempers vzw they like to make an exception.  :-)

Paul Lefebvre, director and responsible for production, and Xavier Tournet, commercial director, will be our guide on the site (mainly in French) and explain us everything about the grinding and brewing, filtering and cooking, purifying, cooling and fermenting, lagering, filtration and bottling. Of course, you also learn a little more about their wide range of beers …

And afterwards  there is a tasting. If we behave well, we even may taste a scoop! Probably a very unique evening …

 

Meeting on Thursday, March 17th, 2016 at 17:45 at the brewery, Chemin du Croly 54 to 1430 Rebecq-Quenast (parking in front of the brewery).
