St. Bernardus/Weihenstephaner Kombine Helles 4pk

Kombine 2025 is an unfiltered, full-bodied blond beer (6% ABV) with a subtle hoppy 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.  6% ABV
