Brewed at Brasserie de Licorne, using specially selected Champagne yeast, malted
barley, hops and purest Alsace water; Kasteel Cru is presented in its own distinctive
bottle, produced by expert glass-moulders in Reims, the capital of the Champagne
region.
'Les Trois Tavernes' refers to the name given by the Romans to this Alsace brewing
town; 'Tres Tabernaes': from which the name Saverne is derived.
The light, sweet maltiness of the beer comes from the spring barley, local to
Alsace. Using the skills of the brewer, the malted barley and pure water of les
Vosges mountains are brought together in mash tuns to produce a golden coloured
wort.
To the wort are added the choicest Hallertau hops, from which the very subtle
bitterness of Kasteel Cru is born. The Champagne yeast gives a natural acidity
which perfectly balances the light, sweet maltiness of the beer. The special yeast
fermentation gives rise to the streaming bubbles and sharp, white foam which give
Kasteel Cru its distinctive appearance in a glass.
(Please note that "Price per Bottle" is actually price per case)
