(Mechelen, Belgium) – Brouwerij Het Anker will import another new beer into the states very soon according to a distribution representative in Massachusetts. According to the brewery’s web site (props to Belgianbeerboard.com for discovering this over three weeks ago!), the new beer is a blond version of the original “Cuvee van de Keizer Blauw,” a celebration of its 10th anniversary.
The original beer carries a blue stripe across it and the blond version dons a red stripe. More information about both versions’ characteristics and ingredients can be found at the official website. The new beer was recently made available at the recent beer festival in Aarhus, Denmark so some reviews have started to filter in already. It’s also been available on tap at Hamilton’s in San Diego and Novare Res Bier Cafe in Portland, ME. The blue version, on the other hand, has established itself as a classic rendition of the Belgian Strong Ale style over the last decade. It is currently ranked in the top 70 beers in the world at Beer Advocate.
Brouwerij Het Anker is also expected to import Gouden Carolus Hopsinjoor, a hoppy Belgian ale, soon.
