Extremis
210
Beer virtuoso Rudi Ghequire translated Dirk Wynants’
exacting beer wish list into an exquisite recipe that’s
perfect when served in the special glass designed
by Belgian metalsmith Nedda El-Asmar. The beer
is brewed in a truly unique location: the ancient
Kazematten Brewery, ensconced within the 17th-centu-
ry fortifications that encircle the city of Ypres. In recent
years, the improved recipe has regularly been imbibed
at international trade fairs and events launching the
latest Extremis creations. Unable to resist the countless
pleas to make our beer available to all any longer,
we finally entered into a distribution partnership with
the Sint Bernardus brewery, a worldwide exporter of
Trappist beers. Thanks to them – and the great taste, of
course – the first Tremist-serving bars are popping up
in the United States, Japan and Scandinavia, and the
beer will be gracing the shelves of Belgian stores, too.
high-quality flavour without being too heavy. Due to
the highly international nature of Extremis business
operations, shelf life was also an extremely important
consideration. This is why a hoppy, blonde "Saison"
style beer was chosen; reminiscent of the pale ales that
farmers traditionally brewed in the winter to provide
their seasonal workers with some welcome summer
refreshment.
