062 LEFFE BLONDE…

DAY 4

 

 

We arrive back on the market of Brugge, and need some more refreshment. Choose one of the many inviting terraces. A few table removed I spot an Oriental family enjoying a proper Belgian beer, Leffe. They come from all over the world to sample the beer of Belgium!

Dripping cool, on draught, they slowly savour it. I photograph it.

There are several beers in the range, and they are marketed as Abbey beers.

The abbey of Leffe was founded in 1152 on the Meuse River in the province of Namur in southern Belgium. Like many monasteries across Europe, the Premonstratensian (Norbertine) canons of the abbey brewed ale, starting in 1240.

Using knowledge passed from generation to generation and ingredients found in the wild near the abbey, the canons developed a unique ale with a subtle taste and high alcohol content, brewed only at the abbey.

Now all Leffe brands are brewed at the Stella Artois brewery in Leuven.

There are 9 different Leffe beers.

Leffe Blond contains 6.6% alcohol and is best served at 5-6°C in a beer chalice, which will allow all the flavours to come through.

SANTE!Cheers…

 

 

Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)
