St.Bernardus Abt 12 is widely regarded as one of the best beers in the world. It is therefore not surprising that it is our brewery's flagship beer, ranked at the top of the brewing hierarchy at St.Bernardus.. It is brewed in the classic quadrupel style and follows the original recipe from 1946.
St.Bernardus Abt 12 has a very fruity aroma resulting from the use of our own unique yeast. It brims with different and complex flavors and stands out for its long, sweet and sour finish. Thanks to its smooth, rounded taste and its perfect balance between bitter and sweet, this beer is very easy to drink - when you drink an Abt you can enjoy life to the fullest!
In 2018, the brewery further strengthened its positioning as a destination for beer-loving tourists with the addition of a brand new wing, with space for more warehouses, a new brewery, event, convention and seminar spaces, and to top it all off Next Door, 'Bar Bernard', a spectacular 360° rooftop bar plus tasting room. Starting in 2023, visitors will also be able to take a Brewery Tour, a museum-style experience where they can explore the unique history behind St. Bernard at their own pace. A new three-story production facility opened in late 2022, with a bottling area for filling and packaging, more space to store cases, glassware and other packaging materials, additional offices and a new laboratory. The new bottling area improved the sustainability of the production process in several ways and enabled further logistical innovations. Throughout 2023, another new warehouse was also added in Sappenleen, an industrial estate in Poperinge. From 2023, annual sales have increased to 50,000 hectoliters, or 5 million liters in volume. Those 15 million 33-cl bottles of beer are appreciated in more than 80 countries. Approximately 55% is sold in Belgium. The United States is the largest foreign market, followed by the Netherlands and France.
