About this release

Steenuilke started in 2009 as a collaboration between brewery De Ryck and the regional landscape organization of the Flemish Ardennes to support the little owl project in the region. This brewery from the Belgian town of Herzele has created something special with this beer. Three distinctive herbs that grow in the Flemish Ardennes were selected for this beer—sweet wood fibers, angelica root, and hawthorn—and added to the brew. They give the beer its pronounced and unique herbal, peppery, and slightly grassy flavor. With an alcohol content of 6.5 percent, Steenuilke offers a good balance between flavor and drinkability. This is a beer with character that perfectly appeals to lovers of herbal themes and traditional Belgian brewing craft. The combination of local botanicals gives this beer a complex and refined flavor profile that sets it apart from common beers. This makes Steenuilke not only a culinary pleasure but also a conscious choice to support nature conservation in the Flemish Ardennes. The 330 milliliter bottle is ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy this herbal craft beer. Steenuilke belongs to the more distinctive Belgian creations and is appreciated by beer enthusiasts worldwide. Best enjoy this beer chilled at around 7 degrees Celsius, so that the herbs come into their own and the full flavor spectrum unfolds optimally. A beer with a clear statement and a strong link to the nature of Flanders.
