v.Vollenhoven & co Bokbier
This Bokbier is brewed according to the late 19th century tradition as used by Van Vollenhoven’s Brouwerij De GekroondeValk. This bottom fermented bok is built on a broad malt base, with sweetness and bitternes kept in a perfect balance.
The unique Dutch tradition of a dark, heavy autumn ‘Bokbier’ arose after the middle of the 19th century, and was soon adopted by all brewers as a counterpart to the lighter pilsener beers that had great success in the market. The Van Vollenhoven Brewery, as a specialist in dark, heavy beers, also launched its own Bokbier and we continue this tradition every year.
