Special beer: a world of flavors

Special beer is more than lager. It is a adventure trip by a richness of flavors, brewed with passion and creativity. Belgium is famous for its triples, doubles and blondes, but... breweries around the world experiment with surprising ingredients and techniques.

Confusion about the term specialty beer

Did you know that the name specialty beer only exists in the Netherlands? Officially, this name is not even included in Het Groene Boekje, so the word is not officially recognized either. But in the vernacular comes the word special beer yet often. This has to do with the fact that in the past we regarded the Pils beer style as 'normal beer'. Due to the emergence of different beer styles, we have therefore summarized all these beer styles as 'special beer'.
