AboutBrouwerij Huyghe
Léon Huyghe began working at a brewery in Melle in 1902 and bought it in 1906. Today, Alain De Laet leads the fourth generation of the family brewery.
Delirium Tremens, with its pink-elephant label, brought the brewery to an international audience. In 2015, Huyghe opened an on-site workshop offering supported employment.
Delirium Tremens Belgian Strong Blond Ale 5 L Mini Keg
Belgian Beer
Straw-gold with a persistent white head, this strong Belgian blond ale brings malt, spice and ripe banana across a full, rounded palate. Fruity sweetness is checked by lively carbonation and a dry finish marked by lingering peppery spice. Serve cool from the keg with roast poultry, grilled fish, washed-rind cheese or savoury pastries; the generous format is particularly well suited to sharing.
Delirium Nocturnum Belgian Strong Dark Ale
Belgian Beer
Dark brown-red with a compact, creamy head, this strong Belgian ale combines caramel, mocha and chocolate with dark fruit and roasted malt. The palate begins soft and rounded, then builds through hop and roast-derived bitterness toward a poised balance of bitter, tart and sweet. Serve cool with braised beef, aged Gouda, chocolate cake or toasted nuts; the layered finish rewards unhurried sipping.
Brouwerij Huyghe Delirium Tremens Belgian Strong Pale Ale 330 mL
Belgian Beer
Round, warming and complex, this Belgian strong pale ale layers orchard fruit, spice and malt over a delicate sweetness. Fine hop character and mild bitterness keep the palate composed, while three yeast strains contribute aromatic depth. The finish is strong, long and dry-bitter rather than cloying. Serve cool with blue cheese, dark grain bread, roast pork, pâté or herb-roasted chicken.
