Kasteelbier brown is a very rich, overwhelming beer. It’s one of the strongest Belgian beers, and perfect if you want to enjoy a good beer and getting a little drunk without much drinking.
The beer is brewed by Brewery van Honsebrouck in Ingelmunster. The brewery has bought the castle (‘kasteel’ in Flemish) in Ingelmunster where the beer originally was been brewed. This castle can you still find at the bottle label.
If you’re really thirsty, you can drink a whole series of Kasteelbier. There are 5 types of Kasteelbier: blond (7%), brown (11%), triple (11%), red (11%) and ‘cuvée’ (8%). Nice thing is that there are also big bottles of 75cl on the market, which sometimes even can be found in local Belgian supermarkets.
The beerglass of all types of Kasteelbier is the same: not so high head, with a golden rim around the glass.
