COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Once, the legend goes, insulted by the stubbornness of its inhabitants, Emperor Charles let all the beer from the inns of Bierbeek be thrown into the Molendaal River. That's how the town of Bierbeek got its name. 500 years later you ar now drinking a Bierbeekse, a golden blond living beer with a secnd fermentation in the bottle. Cheers!
