Bonne Chiere Triple+ In the Belgium city of Bruges sits the “Bonne Chiere” windmill on a long stretch of grass on the edge of town. Under the arms of this Quixotic giant, basking in the warm summer sun I savored my first experience with Belgian beers, Triples in particular. Captivated by their complexity, strength and character I brewed this Triple as homage to the “Venice of the North”. Imported French grain provides the bulk of the grist adding a distinct European malt character. For added authenticity, brewing salts were judiciously added to replicate the brewing water of Antwerp. The use of “Noble”style hops ensures a delicate hop aroma while Belgian Ardennes yeast supplies the necessary Belgian yeast character. Finally, a special blend of spices carefully added to the kettle ensures that each sip is layered with as much depth as possible.
