The flavor is a perfect balance of sweet ripe fruits and slightly bitter undertones. The fruity finish makes the beer easy to drink. 16.9 oz can.

‘The one and only eternal summer beer: brewed with real raspberries.’

Brewery Information:

TheVan Honsebrouck Brewery(makers ofKasteelbeers) began as a small farm and brewery on the outskirts of Ingelmunster in the West Flanders region of Belgium.

Purchased in 1900 by husband and wife Emile and Ludovica Van Honsebrouck and expanded in the 1930s by their two sons, major success would elude the brew farm until the 1950s when grandson Luc Van Honsebrouck took over the business.

Educated at the brewing schools of Ghent and then gaining practical experience at a large German brewery, Luc would change the direction of the family business by breaking with tradition and concentrating on the production of high quality specialty beers. His vision proved fortunate, and made him a legend in the craft brew industry.

Today the Van Honsebrouck Brewery still family owned and operated distributes its specialty ales to at least two dozen countries including the United States, Canada, China, Italy, Brazil and Japan.
