Brasserie de la Côte de Jade - Bière Brigantine

This traditional brewery produces "La Brigantine" beer (amber, blond, brown, white, red, triple and IPA). Ivan Lambert, a brewing engineer by training, learned the trade at the Meurice Institute in Brussels. He founded La Brasserie de la Côte de Jade in 2003 with his wife Anne. The brewery revives traditional Belgian brewing methods. They christened their beer "La Brigantine", the name of a ship?s sail, to "keep the seafaring spirit alive", says Ivan. "Every day, we strive to produce craft beers that offer our customers a real moment of pleasure and emotion for the taste buds. All our double-fermented beers are 100% pure malt, unfiltered and unpasteurized, with no coloring agents or preservatives. Our range of beers has expanded over the years. Our beers are now available in seven versions: white, blonde, triple blonde, IPA (indian pale ale), amber, brown and red."
