With Fourchette Triple 33 cl, Brasserie Van Steenberge has created a Belgian specialty beer designed to be enjoyed at the table. This blonde, multi-grain tripel is made for those looking to leave the ordinary behind and rediscover, in a glass, the generosity of a brewing tradition deeply rooted in Belgium. At 7.5% ABV, it has a full-bodied personality without sacrificing refreshment, thanks to a subtle balance between gentle bitterness and liveliness. Its top fermentation, followed by a second fermentation in the bottle, gives it a lively character that turns tasting into a considered ritual. Fourchette naturally takes its place at the centre of a carefully prepared aperitif, a convivial meal or a gourmet pause where there is time to savour every sip. Its 33 cl bottle is the ideal size for appreciating the distinctive character of this Belgian blonde beer, with moderation and curiosity.

A brewing composition designed to express character

Fourchette’s personality comes from a recipe combining water, barley malt, wheat, sugar, hops, yeast and rice. This multi-grain composition gives the beer a broad expression, while the hops provide the gentle bitterness that structures the tasting experience. The barley malt and wheat contribute to its identity as a full-bodied blonde tripel, without compromising its freshness on the palate. Each ingredient plays its part in a coherent composition, where richness and momentum respond to one another with precision. This lively beer does not seek to impress for its own sake; instead, it favours a clear, harmonious presence, true to the spirit of great Belgian speciality beers. Its original gravity of 16° Plato reflects its generous body, while its bitterness of 22 EBU draws a distinct, never overpowering line through the overall profile.

The right timing, from serving to storage

Fourchette is made for occasions when the table becomes a setting for sharing. Its strong blonde profile makes it an excellent match for a conversation that carries on, a carefully prepared aperitif or a meal where the flavours call for a characterful beer. The second fermentation in the bottle invites you to serve this tripel gently, preserving the liveliness developed throughout its production. Presented in a 33 cl bottle, it is best enjoyed in carefully chosen surroundings, either on its own to explore its nuances or shared among fellow enthusiasts.
