Tasting beer’s and writing about them
St Bernardus Extra 4 – 4.8% Single
The brewery was set up to commercialise & sell the beers of Westverleteren Abbey. They brewed under licence until 1992, when it expired and continued under St Bernardus brand that we know today. They’ve been around since 1946 and are the oldest member in the Belgian Family Brewers. Using the Sixtus yeast.
Recipes are from Westverleten – This beer has been out of production since 1976 – and revived by St Bernadus – more so an inspiration than a rebrewing of the beer. A Single refers to the amount of malt used rather than Single Hop etc.
This is a Full flavoured beer with a low ABV – available on draught and bottles in 60 countries world wide, and a very appealing invite to their brewery which has a B&B.
