Gouden Carolus Hopsinjoor completes the taste palate of the Gouden Carolus beers. “Hopsinjoor” derived from “Opsinjoor”, the typical character of Mechelen and also because of the use of 5 different kinds of hops. These hops are fractioned at a different time during the cooking process in order to conserve a maximum of aroma. Concerning the taste, the Ale has a gentle taste with a slightly bitter finish. Gouden Carolus Hopsinjoor was launched in 2008 on the Zythos Beer Festival and hit the mark: the visitors elected it as best beer, bringing Het Anker “The Consumer’s trophy Zythos Beer Festival 2008”. The beer is bottled unfiltered in order to preserve the bitterness of the hop as much as possible.
In 2010, the 17th-century family farm in Blaasveld was turned into a whisky distillery. Production of Gouden Carolus Single Malt began the same year. The whisky was launched three years later, in 2013, and has already won several international awards! The brewery has now gained an international reputation and exports to more than 40 countries. The beers have earned worldwide praise. In proof of this, the brewery has received several international awards over the past few years.
