Great video, lots of feeling, and for sure you took one for the team, i grew up in Germany on a military base, and slung beer from a young age of 17 at the Rod and Gun Club snack bar on Base among many other jobs in the 17 years i spent until they closed the Base. My last gig at the Radio Station (As Technician) was pouring Beer on the final broadcast.
On a weekend away in mudgee and went to the local brewery. They had St Bernardus Tripel in the fridge. I was very excited to see it, had to get a bottle!
I’ve been there last year after we had went to the Westvleteren abbey which is very close to St Bernardus, the brewery shop was the only part that was open that day, it was pretty amazing to be there. It was a shame that the Bar Bernard and the Brewery were closed that day, but I’ve got a reason to go back there. Great video, greetings from the Netherlands
Thank you! If there’s ever an opportunity to return, do you offer private tours of the brewery and chats with the brewer/owner? Would love to do a longer trip and meet the team. Cheers!
It truly is! We could image in summer, the flies would be outrageous considering the fresh smell of cow shit in the neighbouring villages. Keeps it authentic haha
We have brewed beers this high ABV before. A stout that was 8.4 but we had to serve it in middies to elevate intoxication which sometimes leads to worse behaviour at the brewery. It can be done but monitoring closely is key!
Cool video and disappointing to hear even in Husky brewing high octane beers creates issues. I reckon you should do a batch to try and replicate. Can't wait for the Verdant video, as that'd definitely be on my bucket list
St Bernardus Abt 12 is what got me into craft style beer. Being able to brew an Abt 12 properly is the goal when I’m finally ready to let it age for so long.
Not a brewer but staying at the St Bernardus brewery in June. Also on the bucket list of places to visit, long time fan of the brewery... looks fantastic. How many beers did you drink in the end? I'll try and beat it 😀🍺
Don't need to be a brewer on enjoy it! June would be a great time of the year. He lost count but between 10-12 beers (that he can remember) Warning: the hangover was real!
Well, we went to Verdant which is coming soon. A few others are in the USA and we are super keen to go. Allagash, Treehouse.. there's probably more than 5, to be honest! Do you have a bucket list?
@@flamingalahbrewingco We have done a brewers tour of New England and took in Foam Brewers in Burlington, The Alchemist, Hill Farmstead, Allagash, Bissell Brothers, Treehouse, Trillium & Harpoon in Boston. Plus a few other small ones in Portland and along the way. I cannot recommend a New England tour highly enough. So much inspiration for beers came home with us.
Outstanding...... as expected!!!
Epic. Thanks for sharing
2 down to earth people. Keep them vids coming guys
Thank you, that's very kind!

Thanks for sharing, Brewery looks wonderful. Could only imagine being at a location with soo much Brewing history.
It’s certainly one of the most beautiful breweries we have visited.

Cheers mate, thank you for watching. It's a must see brewery, for sure!
Wow, awesome place!

The perfect excuse to go back.
We filmed a short video at Saint Sixtus too, its part of our Belgium brewery tour ep coming up next!
thanks!!
Thank you!

Would love to do a longer trip and meet the team. Cheers!
@@flamingalahbrewingco we'd love you to come back but we don't organise tours or meet & greet with the brewer or the owner, sorry ;-)
ah well it was worth a shot! thanks again
What an awesome place. I'd be absolutely fly blown if I went there 😂
It truly is!

You should brew a high Abv beer. Just make it pricy and exclusive. I’ll buy it.
Love your passion guys.

It is definitely an issue when serving high ABV beers, Verdant is coming soon!
Woohoo!
Thanks for watching! Is it on your bucket list now?
@@flamingalahbrewingco I’ve never had any St B ales. Are the imported bottles worth trying?
yeh they do sell them on some Aussie craft beer websites, I got some from Claire at Christmas.
I agree, Belgian triple blonde is where it’s at!
Absolutely, we can't wait to brew it!
U need some of that yeast. Should of asked them for a pitch
St Bernardus Abt 12 is what got me into craft style beer. Being able to brew an Abt 12 properly is the goal when I’m finally ready to let it age for so long.
waiting is an issue hahah
As BIG T would say nice work son, did you take the drone shot at the end?
Yes, all footage was on our drone!

@@flamingalahbrewingco yeah not going to beat that! 🤣
Lucky man :) I've been thinking about going down there myself, what time of year were you there, since it's so cold?
We were there in November, pretty cold especially at night. You should definitely visit!
@@flamingalahbrewingco Thanks for the answer. I'm from Norway so I can handle the cold 😁. Keep up the videos like this 🍻👍🏻
So what are the other 4 bucket list breweries to visit?
Well, we went to Verdant which is coming soon. A few others are in the USA and we are super keen to go. Allagash, Treehouse.. there's probably more than 5, to be honest!
Do you have a bucket list?

thanks for the recommendations, there are few we recognise but we will keep these for when we hit up the USA. Cheers!
