No brewing culture takes the table more seriously than Belgium’s — high carbonation to cut richness, yeast complexity to echo spice, and corked 750ml formats made for sharing. That makes Q4 the Belgian portfolio’s season.
Start with Tripel Karmeliet. Its three-grain silkiness and bready aroma make it the white-Burgundy of beer lists: roast chicken, cream sauces, scallops, triple-cream cheese. The 750ml bottle belongs on the dinner menu, not just the beer list.
Kwak is the fireside pour — caramel, orange marmalade and spice notes that flatter roast pork, speculoos and anything off the smoker. Its coach glass makes it the most photographed beer service in the house.

St. Feuillien Cuvée de Noël is the season itself: a 9% spiced Christmas ale brewed for exactly this moment. Pair with game, stilton, or a dessert course; sell it as an allocation, because it is one.
Round out with Timmermans lambics as the aperitif and dessert bookends — Blanche to open, Kriek or Framboise with chocolate. Gift packs with glassware turn all of this into ready-made retail: ask your rep about holiday programs before October allocations close.
