Since 1651, Brouwerij Sterkens has been brewing traditional, delicious abbey beers of high fermentation in Meer, a small village in the north of Belgium.

Brewed according to tradition and old recipes, complimented by knowledge and experience obtained from past decades, are still the biggest assets in the brewing process of Brouwerij Sterkens.

The St. Sebastiaan Grand Cru is a golden, heavy fermented abbey beer with a distinctive fruity aroma and subtle hints of elaborately selected herbs. This Grand Cru has a nice balance between sweet and bitter and has a nice full-bodied taste with a soft, malty aftertaste. It is re-fermented by the brewery in the jug and or bottle. The result is a nice, clear beer with a wonderful aroma and, for those who love it, a touch of yeast at the bottom of the bottle.

The third Brewmasters Edition of Gulden Draak is currently so ‘hot’ that the Van Steenberge brewery sold out of stock two months before the expected date. 

The brewmaster, Jef Versele, a 6th-generation brewer, developed the exclusive Gulden Draak Brewmasters Edition in honour of his grandfather, Jozef Versele. His grandfather’s great respect for the tradition of artisanal specialty beers was a source of inspiration for Jef. The Gulden Draak ‘The Brewmasters Edition’ is the result of combining modern technology with traditional craft. The beer acquires its unique, fine taste from maturation in whisky barrels.

PATIENCE REQUIRED The Gulden Draak Brewmasters Edition is brewed just once a year and requires 7 months to complete its brewing and maturation process. ‘You can’t just shorten that period. But this is what we call a luxury problem in Belgium. It’s worth the wait.’ Now the wait is over and our limited supply is available in BC
