Taste profile

Legend has it

IPA has one of the most told legends in beer. It goes like this: in 1785 the London brewer George Hodgson invented an extra strong, extra hoppy ale that could survive the long voyage to India. Beer historians have taken it apart. Pale ale was being drunk in India decades earlier, and IPA grew gradually out of aged October ales rather than being invented by one brewer. The story is told all the same, and Vedett's version gives it a Belgian accent.

Beer stories travel from brewery to bar to guest, and rarely shrink on the way.

Frequently asked questions

(More frequently asked questions)

Can I taste several beers at once?

Yes, with the beer box you pick six beers from our 24 taps, served in smaller tasting glasses. The staff are happy to help you put your flight together.

Do you serve every beer in its proper glass?

Yes, just like in Belgium. Each brewery designs glassware to lift precisely their beer, and almost every beer here is served in its proper glass.

Does the beer selection change, or is it always the same?

Both: taps 1-16 are our permanent draughts, always on, while taps 17-24 are rotating guest taps, each beer stays on until the keg runs dry, then a new one takes its place. New bottles also arrive in the bottle cellar all the time. See what's pouring right now →
