Brewed in Bremen, Germany, Beck’s is made in accordance with the “Reinheitsgebot,” the German Purity Law of 1516.

A rich and surprisingly smooth beer, Beck’s Dark features a lingering, slightly sweet aftertaste. The deep copper color is the result of specially roasting the barley malt.

Hoegaarden
Hoegaarden
The key to Hoegaarden’s unique, refreshing flavor and spicy nose is real Curaçao orange peel with a hint of coriander. This beer is particularly refreshing in warmer months and should always be served in its signature hexagonal glass, which keeps the beer colder longer. Try pairing Hoegaarden with salmon or white-fleshed fish in citrus. The classic Belgian-inspired “moules et frites” (mussels with shoestring fries) also pair well with the beer.
Leffe Blonde
Leffe Blonde
A dry, fruity and lightly spiced Belgian Abbey Ale, Leffe Blonde features a perfect balance of strength and subtlety. The bitterness is delicate, extending over the whole palate and lingering as a subtle aftertaste. Leffe Blonde is best served in its own specially designed chalice-shaped glass. The glass helps preserve the beer’s aroma and creates the perfect, creamy head. Pair Leffe Blonde with meat dishes like grilled pork loin and pan-fried steak, smoked salmon and a range of subtle cheeses.
Stella Artois
Stella Artois
Stella Artois is brewed using only the finest natural ingredients – water, barley malt, hops, non-malted grains and Stella Artois’ unique yeast strain – a much-cherished secret that has been kept throughout the years. Stella Artois’ crisp, refreshing flavor pairs well with intensely flavored Thai, Asian Fusion and Indian dishes such as curries. The bitterness also helps cut through cream sauces in pastas and contrasts the creaminess of flavorful semi-soft cheeses such as Havarti, Morbier and artisanal cheddars.
