Hertog Jan Brouwerij - Hertog Jan Proeftuin #16: Grand Prestige Karmeliet

Prestige Karmeliet is a unique collaboration born during a visit of Master Brewer Hans van de Remoortele to Arcen in April 2024. After reviewing the success of our Grand Prestige Brut and finalizing plans for the upcoming Brut Blond, we found ourselves reflecting on how our breweries could push the boundaries of craftsmanship even further. During this conversation it became clear where our shared passion lies. For Hans, Tripel Karmeliet is a beer he constantly strives to keep in the spotlight. For me, that same pride and dedication is embodied in Grand Prestige. We quickly realized that the next step in our Proeftuin project should be a beer that merges these two core identities. The result is Prestige Karmeliet: a recipe built on the warm, full flavours of caramel and raisins that define Grand Prestige, harmoniously blended with the creamy body and subtle notes of spice and vanilla from Tripel Karmeliet. The beer pours beautiful light copper-red and offers a generous, festive character—perfect for sharing with friends and family during the holiday season. Cheers!
