Local beers are trendy! Forego commercial beers and get to know the Kasterlee beers: Witte Madam, Kastel, Duvelskuil and pompoenbier (pumpkin beer).
Some amateur brewers from Kasterlee make up the Kasterlee Beer Association.
Four delicious beers have sprung from their brewing kettles:
- Witte Madam: With an alcohol percentage of 8.5%, this golden double-fermented beer has both a sweet and bitter taste.
- Kastel: Its alcohol percentage of 7% gives this amber-coloured beer a pleasant light aftertaste.
- Pompoenbier: This fresh and fruity thirst-quenching wheat bear has an alcohol percentage of 6%.
- Duvelskuil: This chestnut-coloured connoisseur beer has a complex hop flavour, a light caramel touch and a long finish. It has an alcohol percentage of 7.5 %.
At the tourist office you can buy a large gift set (5 bottles of beer + 1 glass) for 14 euros and a small set (3 bottles of beer) for 10 euros.
