Alcohol: 7 % ABV

Fermentation: Top-fermented beer that re-ferments in the bottle with the original yeast strains of the Augustinian Fathers from the monastery in Ghent.

The Brewery: Brouwerij Van Steenberge. Located in Ertvelde, North of Ghent in Belgium. The history of the brewery goes back to 1784. Many hundreds of home breweries in Flanders made their own beer for their own consumption or as a side activity of farming, because it was safer to drink beer than water.

Origin: When, in 1987, the Augustinian Fathers were looking for a partner to brew their beer, Jozef Van Steenberge won the Augustinian Fathers' competition and the brewery gained access to the recipe of this historic abbey beer, but also to the knowledge of Janus Jeremanus, the keeper of the recipe, who introduced the original yeast strains of the Augustinian Fathers. Renamed St Stefanus in France.

Food: Can be served as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to your daily dishes.
