    Back in Black 3

    Thursday 28th Feb 2019 – Sunday 3rd Mar 2019

    It’s the time of year for our annual celebration of the darker side of beer. If you’re a fan of dark ales, then this is the event for you; and if black beers intimidate you, there’ll definitely be something to change your mind.

    Back in Black 3 promises to be the biggest yet, with 10 cask and now 18 keg lines full of the dark and mysterious!

    Duvel Tripel Hop 2016

    Duvel is traditionally brewed with two hop varieties.

    Duvel Tripel Hop is brewed with three hop varieties and each year the third hop is changed to provide its own unique taste and aroma. This keeps the final flavor profile surprisingly exciting for any true beer lover. For 2016 our brewers selected HBC 291 from the Yakima Valley in the USA.

    By using three instead of two hop varieties to brew, we obtain additional hop aromas and an increased bitterness. The typical Duvel palate is enriched with HBC 291 hops providing fresh notes of citrus, black pepper, lavender and roses. read more

    “The 4th wave of Bloody ‘Ell has come to an end. Taste buds of the IPA masses have been entrenched for the last few months in zest and juice of the mighty Sicilian citrus, there were no survivors. read more
