Our must-have beers for Halloween

Let’s dive into our selection of the best Halloween beers for 2021!

First, we travel to Belgium to discover Corne du Bois des Pendus Black, a bold, powerful dark beer. Its name is tied to the legend of Cornelius, a famed brewer from the 17th century. In 1636, the region’s villagers were pillaged, killed, and some hanged in the forest—since then, the woods are said to be haunted by terrifying souls seeking to frighten passersby. Legend has it that anyone who drinks Corne du Bois des Pendus while saying “Glory to the horn, to Cornelius, and to all those hanged in the woods, health without mercy” will be granted eternal glory. Discover the full story behind this eerie beer.

Still in Belgium, embark on an adventure with the Trolls of Dubuisson Brewery. Flavored with dried orange peel, Cuvée des Trolls is a perfect addition to any Halloween beer lineup. Its beautiful orange-blonde hue delivers fruity, lightly spiced flavors with balanced bitterness. Its subtle sweetness and refreshing acidity make it the ideal companion for a haunted Halloween night.

To pair with your spooky desserts, try Duchesse de Bourgogne. On the nose, this dark beer offers woody aromas with hints of licorice and dark fruits. On the palate, you’ll enjoy chocolate and caramel flavors balanced by gentle acidity, embodying the classic character of a Flemish Red Ale. The beer’s name origin is debated: some say it was inspired by beer writer Michael Jackson’s comparison of “old browns” to Burgundy wines, while others see it as a tribute to Mary of Burgundy, buried in Bruges.

This Halloween, explore our extensive range of beers perfect for the occasion: classics, spooky brews, and warm, comforting beers. Try Cubanisto, with its distinctive Mexican skull design, or Barbar, an iconic beer with sweet honey notes—ideal for sipping during a horror movie marathon.
