Description
KWAK 8% is named after Pauwel Kwak who first brewed this
gourmet beer in 1791. The family-owned Brewery Bosteels
located in Buggenhout, Belgium, brews Kwak in the zuur Flanders
style producing a dry, assertively tart beer. Kwak has a
slightly sweet flavour, a fruity aftertaste, and a hint
of bitterness. Top-fermented, it has a rich, copper colour
with a creamy head. The distinctive glass originated from
coachmen needing a way to enjoy beer since Napoleonic Code
forbade them sharing a drink with the passengers. Kwak developed
this glass so the coachmen could remain seated yet hang
the glass on the coach and enjoy the rich beer too.
