An Amplified Take on the Classic Piraat

Piraat Triple Hop is an innovative take on the classic Piraat beer, inspired by the IPA culture in the United States. This variant introduces a unique twist by incorporating four additional hop varieties into the classic Piraat recipe. The selection of hops is adjusted annually based on availability, ensuring each batch offers a fresh experience.

This beer undergoes fermentation in both bottles and barrels, which contributes to its shelf life and flavor evolution over time. Piraat Triple Hop is characterized as a strong blonde beer with triple hops, boasting an amber blond color and a pronounced hoppy and spicy aroma. The flavor is a full-bodied mix of bitterness and slight fruitiness​.

The Piraat Triple Hop benefits from a complex brewing process that emphasizes the use of multiple hop varieties. The additional hops introduce layers of flavor and aroma, enhancing the beer's hoppy character. The process of bottle and barrel fermentation adds depth to the beer, allowing it to develop and mature over time, improving with age​.

Brouwerij Van Steenberge operates out of Ertvelde, East Flanders, Belgium, and has been an active contributor to the Belgian beer tradition since 1784. The brewery is renowned for its dedication to craft and innovation, seamlessly blending traditional brewing methods with contemporary techniques to create a diverse range of beers, including the Piraat series.​

The beer's hoppy and spicy profile pairs well with robust and flavorful dishes. Foods that complement hop bitterness, such as grilled meats, spicy dishes, and bold cheeses, are excellent choices.
