1894 OAK & HOPS

One of Belgium’s largest independent family breweries and a specialist in foeder aged and blended beers. 1894’s Champagne-like carbonation, dryness and delicate sour-oakiness are truly unique. By blending 20% aged with fresh beer and using 3 classic European aroma hops (2 grown in Belgium) it remains despite its 38 IBUs very fruity, peppery and flowery. Oak is subdued and the yeasts it contains provide flavours reminiscent of grapefruit, nectarines and pineapple. This beer is living proof that the notion sour and bitter can’t be combined is utter nonsense.
