Kombine 2025 is an unfiltered, full-bodied blond beer (6% ABV) with
a subtle happy aroma. A first for St. Bernardus as we have never
before brewed a bottom-fermented beer. Additionally, this beer does
not undergo bottle fermentation, another first in our brewing
tradition. And if that was not challenging enough, we also committed
to brewing this according to the German Reinheitsgebot! We used
Weihenstephan’s yeast and a blend of hops from both our own and
Weihenstephan.
Connoisseurs will recognize the ‘oxymoron’ or the apparent
contradiction in the beer’s style and name. An unfiltered Helles is, by
definition, a contradiction. We find this tension incredibly intriguing,
as it mirrors the duality of our brewery: our beers are iconic and
steeped in tradition and authenticity, yet we also enjoy pushing
boundaries to appeal to the adventurous beer drinker.
The visual identity of Kombine 2025 continues the design introduced
with Braupakt. The label once again features St. Bernardus and Saint
Korbinian, the founder of Weihenstephan. These two iconic figures
were brought to life by the Belgian illustrator Xavier Truant, who also
created the now-famous illustrations for the elevator shaft in our
brewery in Watou.
