Q

Gulden Draak

A

STYLE: Belgian Strong Dark Ale

GLASSWARE: Tulip

INFO: Early on in the Crusades, which lasted from the 11th to the 13th century, Norwegian King Sigrid Magnusson sailed to the center of the Christian world, Constantinople (today, Istanbul, Turkey), on his way home from the Middle East. During his stay, Magnusson showed his gratitude to the emperor of Constantinople with the gift of a golden dragon statue. It stayed in the city for 100 years until Baldwin IX, a Flemish count and Constantinople’s then-emperor, decided the dragon belonged in his home village just outside Ghent, Belgium. Predictably, not everyone in Belgium was pleased with the gesture, and a bold band of Bruges residents stole the statue under the cover of night. Sometimes revenge travels slowly: More than 100 years later, Ghent invaded its thieving neighbors and reclaimed the statue. While this may sound like historical myth, the golden dragon, or gulden draak, still ornaments Ghent’s belfry tower.

La Trappe Quadrupel

A

STYLE: Quadrupel

GLASSWARE: Tulip

INFO: The tale of La Trappe Quadrupel begins in 1881, when French Trappist monks settled in the village of Berkel-Enschot, located close to the Netherlands’ southern border with Belgium. The traveling Trappists took over a sheep barn and several farmhouses, which they named De Koningshoeven, or “king’s farms,” after their former owner, King William II. The sheep barn, inside whose walls beer is still produced today, was converted into an abbey in 1884. The La Trappe brand emerged from the abbey in 1980, its name inspired by a French abbey called “Notre-Dame de la Grande Trappe” — or “La Trappe” for the lazy — said to be where the Trappist order originated. Koningshoeven produces nine beers as part of the La Trappe lineup – Quadrupel, first brewed in 1991, is the strongest at 10% ABV.
