Affligem Blond
The Taste of Affligem Blond
Affligem Blond is a delight for those who appreciate a harmoniously balanced beer that skillfully blends complexity with drinkability. This Belgian Pale Ale features a bright, golden hue with a substantial, frothy head that speaks to its careful crafting. Upon tasting, notes of sweet malt and a hint of honey are immediately apparent, providing a smooth, rich foundation. The flavor profile evolves with undertones of ripe fruits like apricot and orange, layered with a subtle spicy hint of clove. This complexity is polished off with a mild hoppy bitterness that gives it a refreshingly crisp finish. Ideal for savoring, Affligem Blond's robust character and delicate carbonation make it a versatile pairing for a variety of dishes, enhancing the culinary experience.
The Brewery
Affligem Brewery, where Affligem Blond is crafted, marries centuries of monastic brewing traditions with modern brewing techniques. Located in the Flemish Brabant province of Belgium, the brewery has become a beacon of Belgian beer culture. Founded by Benedictine monks in 1074, it has a storied history of brewing that has endured through the ages. Today, while the brewery operates with state-of-the-art equipment, it retains its spiritual heritage, adhering to age-old recipes and methods. The monks’ commitment to quality is evident in every bottle, with the brewery using only the finest hops, malt, and pure water sourced from local wells. This dedication ensures that each batch of Affligem Blond maintains the authentic taste and quality expected by connoisseurs around the world.
The History
The history of Affligem Blond is intertwined with the rich monastic traditions of the Affligem Abbey, established in 1062 by six knights who renounced their martial ways to lead a life of religious devotion. The abbey's brewing activity began as a practical measure to provide a sanitary drinking alternative to water, which was often contaminated. Over centuries, this practicality turned into a crafting passion, embedding brewing into the monks' daily rituals. The abbey was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt through wars and revolutions, symbolizing resilience and renewal—qualities that are imbued in every brew. In the 20th century, the brewery modernized its operations while maintaining its spiritual and historical essence, allowing Affligem Blond to become a symbol of Belgian pride and monastic tradition on a global scale.
