Extra 4 is a refreshing blond beer that is brewed in the classic single style. Every year, our Extra 4 can be enjoyed in spring and summer. Extra 4 shines with the golden hue of pale straw, topped off with a snowy-white collar. As this beer re-ferments in the bottle, it produces a lovely fizz in the glass. If you think that a beer with a lower alcohol percentage will have less powerful flavours then Extra 4 will make you think again. The sweet fragrance of malt is complemented beautifully by a wide range of refreshing, zesty and floral touches including citrus and cloves with a hint of pepper. This taste bouquet is perfectly balanced by the refined aroma of hops, without suffering from an overload of bitterness. The finish is slightly dry and is, towards the end, accompanied by a fruity touch of citrus. All in all, they pair up to make this the ultimate thirst-quencher. The modest 4.8% alcohol volume ensures that this beer is a refresher first and foremost. In brief, a unique, re-invigorating and thirst-quenching beer that is perfect for spring.
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.
