Urthel Samaranth
A truly authentic tasting beer for old Flemish brewing tradition. A dark specialty of 11.5% with subtle soft sweet taste, rich aromas of dried fruit and a delicate bitterness with a hint of chocolate in the aftertaste. A beer which makes the lovely wild or firm cheese. For warmth on cool nights or cold days.

One of the most creative brewers of this time is a woman, Hildegard of Ostaden.

If brewer Urthel from the West Flanders Ruiselede she thought the series Urthelbieren brewed in Berkel-Enschot. Entirely according to the authentic Flemish brewing art with patience and in peace with Bierbrouwerij De Koningshoeven.

After her studies at the Kaho St. Lieven in Ghent, where she graduated as an industrial engineer with a specialization in brewing, she gave four years teaching young future engineers and supervised on behalf of Belgian and Dutch breweries numerous projects.

Urthel Hop-it

A very special and opinionated specialty of 9.5% with exceptionally high, but refined bitterness. Inspired by beautiful American traditions with particular European aromatic hop varieties. A successful discovery provides the natural and surprising bitterness of an Indian Pale Ale. A tasty frame of velvety soft cheeses or light fruit.

Urthel Saisonnière

A unique combination of Saison and wheat beer. The blonde and irresistible Saisonnière (Seiseke in Belgium) is a sparkling golden, slightly cloudy but extremely refreshing drink by 6% with a firm bite. Striking a compact lively foam. A beer to savor, especially in combination with small snacks and delicious dishes.
