St.Bernardus Abt 12 is widely regarded as one of the best beers in the world. It is therefore no surprise that it is our brewery’s flagship beer, ranked at the very top of the St.Bernardus beer hierarchy. It is brewed in the classic quadrupel style and adheres to the original 1946 recipe.
St.Bernardus Abt 12 has a very fruity aroma that is the result of using our own unique yeast. It brims over with different, complex tastes and stands out through its long, bittersweet finish. Thanks to its mild, rounded taste and perfect balance between bitter and sweet, this beer goes down very easily. When you drink an Abt you can enjoy life to the full!
In 2018, the brewery further strengthened its positioning as a destination for beer-loving tourists with the addition of an entire new wing, with room for more warehouses, a new brewery shop, spaces for events, conventions and seminars, and to cap it all off, ‘Bar Bernard’, a spectacular 360° rooftop bar plus tasting room. As of 2023, visitors can also take a Brewery Tour, a museum-style experience where they can explore the unique story behind St.Bernardus at their own pace. At the end of 2022, a brand-new three-storey production hall opened its doors, with a bottling area for filling and packaging, more room to store boxes, glassware and other packaging materials, additional offices and a new lab. The new bottling area improved the sustainability of the production process in various ways and allowed for further logistics innovations. Another new warehouse at Sappenleen, an industrial park in Poperinge, was added in the course of 2023 as well. As of 2023, annual sales have grown to 50,000 hectolitres, or 5 million litres in volume. Those 15 million 33cl bottles of beer are being appreciated in more than 80 countries. Approximately 55% is sold within Belgium. The United States is the largest foreign market, followed by the Netherlands and France.
