About this release

Kompel Ketelhuis is a blonde beer that bridges maltiness and wine aromatics. Brewed with Nelson Sauvin hops and fermented with Portuguese Douro white wine yeast, which creates aromas of white fruit, grapes and floral notes. A short maturation on French oak adds a subtle layer of vanilla. Complex, elegant and refreshing, a true treat for lovers of hybrid styles. This beer is part of the Nostalgia Collection from Brouwerij Kompel, a Belgian brewery from the mining region of Limburg. The name Kompel means miner and is a tribute to the region's mining past. Ketelhuis refers to the industrial heritage of this mining community, a way in which Brouwerij Kompel remembers and appreciates the hard labour of yesteryear in its beers. With an alcohol content of 6.5 percent, this beer offers a perfect balance between accessibility and characterful complexity. The hybrid character of Ketelhuis makes it a unique choice for beer enthusiasts who dare to experiment with unconventional combinations. The influence of the white wine yeast clearly comes through in the elegant, fruity notes, while the Nelson Sauvin hops ensure that the beer retains its own identity. The subtle vanilla note from the oak maturation rounds off the whole in a refined way. This is a beer that can be enjoyed on its own as well as making a fine complement to a culinary experience.
