Brouwerij Sint-Bernardus Kombine 2025 Lager - 33 CL

Kombine 2025 is an unfiltered, full-bodied blond ale (6% ABV) with a subtle hop aroma. A first for St. Bernardus, as the brewers have never brewed a bottom-fermented beer before. Furthermore, this beer is not bottle-fermented, another first in our brewing tradition. And as if that wasn't challenging enough, the brewers also asked us to brew it according to the German Purity Law! We used Weihenstephan yeast and a mix of hops from both ourselves and Weihenstephan. Connoisseurs will recognize the "oxymoron," or apparent contradiction, in the beer's style and name. An unfiltered Helles is, by definition, a contradiction. We find this tension incredibly intriguing because it reflects the duality of our brewery: our beers are iconic and steeped in tradition and authenticity, but our brewers also enjoy pushing boundaries to appeal to the adventurous beer drinker. The visual identity of Kombine 2025 continues the design introduced with Braupakt. The label once again features St. Bernard and St. Korbinian, the founder of Weihenstephan. These two iconic figures were brought to life by Belgian illustrator Xavier Truant, who also created the now-famous illustrations for the elevator shaft in our brewery in Watou.
