Brouwerij West

NEW! all online now

Brouwerij West Tripel....$4.99 / pint
Again, we attempt to brew this tripel using only base malt, sugar, hops and yeast. A touch on the dark gold side, this tripel is rich yet dry with a firm bitterness.






Browerij West Saison Extra Bottles...$4.99 / pint
brouwerij west is excited to announce the release of our Saison Extra in 500 ml bottles. As always, we use only imported belgian malt, german noble hops and our brouwerij west yeast.
We chose not to duplicate the standard "peppery/spicy" saison profile and instead go after bubble gum esters and noble hop aroma. Extra is Bright and malty, with a firm bitterness and a dry finish. Hazy gold in color.
6.5% ALC/VOL and of course no spices added.

We are extremely proud of the limited edition artwork by Jacob Rolfe -www.thefloatingworld.net/
Thanks to Jacob and everyone who made this possible.






Browerij West mør mør - quad....$6.99 / pint

brouwerij west is excited to announce the release of our quad - "Mør Mør " in 500 ml bottles. As always, we use only imported belgian malt, german noble hops and our house yeast strain we isolated in belgium. 10% ALC/VOL and of course no spices added. Deep black-red in color with full palate and a dry finish. 
We are extremely proud of the limited edition artwork by James Flames -www.jamesflames.com 
Thanks to James and everyone who made this possible.







Browerij West Blond ALe...$4.99 / pint

Belgian Malt, Imported Noble Hops, and Belgian Ale Yeast
We think that a blond should be made with as few ingredients as possible...just base malt, noble hops and yeast. We also think it should be dry with a firm bitterness. 
Blond is our attempt to do just that.


Art and concept by Justin Santora. Hand printed by Justin and then photographed and printed on our usual thick paper stock. These are just beautiful. Edition of 5000.

Please take some time to see all of Justin's amazing work. 



About our Labels
We have chosen to take a step away from typical marketing and we move instead toward real art by asking artists to use the space on the label as they choose. All art and concept is up to the artist. 
In addition, we are limiting the artwork to a specific edition number with each bottle numbered on the side. The total number of the edition is next to this number. When the edition is finished, we will move on to a new art work and label.
You can find the name and contact of the artist on the side of the label next to the edition numbers.
We will most definitely have a 2nd and 3rd edition of the labels sometime in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about us and our labels. We would love for you to also take some time and visit the artists webpage links that we are so lucky to be working with.
