AboutBrouwerij Van Steenberge
Van Steenberge traces its Ertvelde brewery to 1784, when Jean Baptiste De Bruin and Angelina Petronella Schelfaut established the family business. In the twentieth century, their heir Margriet Schelfaut refused to join a wartime cooperative, helping the brewery remain independent.
Jef Versele has led the brewery since 1998, overseeing the renewal of its brewing equipment. The beers are brewed with the house’s own yeasts and given extended maturation, with a second fermentation in bottle or keg for some styles.
Brouwerij Van Steenberge Gentse Tripel
Belgian Beer
Honeyed malt, red apple and soft tropical fruit lead a generous aroma, followed by a light yeasty spice. The palate is rounded and fruit-forward, with lively carbonation keeping the texture fresh. Gentle sweetness gives way to measured hop bitterness and a faint tart lift. The finish is crisp, warming and neatly spiced. Serve well chilled with roast chicken, washed-rind cheese, sausages or moules-frites.
Brouwerij Van Steenberge Bornem Tripel 330 mL
Belgian Beer
Spicy aromatics and sweet yeast-driven fruit lead the nose, with banana and pear giving the beer a generous, inviting character. The palate is full and rounded, balancing cereal richness with a subtle bitterness that keeps the sweetness in check. A gentle peppery note returns through the finish, leaving the beer rich but composed. Serve cool with mussels, roast chicken, creamy cheese or fruit-led desserts.
