Food pairing
Rodenbach Grand Cru with grey shrimps – just as they come or else in a shrimp croquette and marinated – is a classic dish that you will find up and down the Belgian coast.
On the cheese front, we can heartily recommend the hard ‘Bruggekaas’, a mature cheese made with the addition of the one and only Rodenbach or else you could plump for the creamy, fresh Ecume de Wimereux, a white mould cheese.
