Brasserie de Hosdent (www.entrenous.be)

• Fondateur

  • Aug 2019 - Present

  ENTRE NOUS is a traditional Belgian craft beer born in the village of Hosdent, better known as "the willow village". The ENTRE NOUS is brewed from three grains (barley, wheat and oats), three hops and a special ingredient: willow bark. The willow bark gives to this unique beer a light and particular bitterness that lingers in the mouth. Refermented in bottle, the ENTRE NOUS is a light blond beer (5.7 °Alc), dried and well balanced. Characterized by a slight bitterness at the end of the mouth and a dense and unctuous foam, the finest nose will find notes of red and woody fruits. Served fresh between 6 and 8 ° C, it will perfectly accompany all your moments with friends. ENTRE NOUS is a beer to share, do not drink it alone! Show less
