Hommelbier from Poperinge

Hommel Dry Hopped

An additional portion of hops is added during the maturing process to this version of the traditional Hommelbier from Poperinge. This process is also called dry hopping. Whereas adding hops during the brewing process adds aroma and bitterness, the addition of hops during the fermentation process infuses the ale with a real floral, hopped flavour.

While our Hommel Dry Hopped is similar to the more traditional variety, the dry hopping adds a unique hop flavour, which you can only obtain with hops from Poperinge. The additional hint of green grass and spring flowers strikes a different balance between the various flavours of this beer, resulting in more pronounced bitterness.
