Tilburg's Dutch Brown Ale


An amazing brown ale! I picked this up today and am in love. At first taste, I immediately thought of a Chimay Blue taste, only lighter and sweeter. Come to find out, it's brewed in an Abbey, the only Abbey outside of Belgium, the Abbey of Koningshoeven in the Netherlands.

Is this a Trappist Beer? Well, there are Trappist Beers brewed there, and it very well could be made by trappists, if you believe the following post:

I've recently sent in an email asking this very question on their contact page. I'll let y'all know how that all turns out.

Meanwhile, if you are interested in their web presence, the following link provides a ton of information. Also pictures of their brewery that supports the hypothesis that this excellent brew is crafted by the same folks who make Le Trappe.

As for the odd logo... well thats is from a picture which has three panels, one depicting Paradise, one depicting a lustfilled world, and the last depicting the artists verision of Hell. I'll let you guess which one the odd creature above is found on. Visit that link above and find out....

Cheers,
