Welcome to Spice & Ginger

Many clients and customers have commented that they are interested in a Ginger Tipple which would be more gingery and spicy, they wanted that mild burning sensation in the throat often associated with ginger.
After 6 months of experimenting we are launching our latest addition to our range of ginger beers, the 7% ABV Spice & Ginger. We took our basic recipe using our signature fresh ginger and added cooked ginger, lots more ginger this time. We boiled up cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg (kruidnagel, kaneel en nootmuskaat). We chose a classic hop, Brewers Gold, with its spicy tones and gentle blackcurrant notes to complete the sensation. Then we left it to referment with organic honey and age for a few months.
The result is a body warming, aromatic and balanced spiced ginger beer which leaves a moderate ginger burn in your throat. And if 7% is not enough, add a shot of rum, gin or jenever!
What I really like about this brew is the way the spices play around on your taste buds, each one detectable as the drink warms up in the glass.

Brewery Visits

Ginger Beer

1st August is usually the start of the quiet season, not much happens, and the day started quietly as expected. Until…

Lost from Chicago

Two guys from Chicago, Andy and Theaumas, were visiting Antwerp’s De Koninck brewery about 5 minutes from my slightly smaller one. But they wanted to go for the real craft beer event and visit Ginger Tipple, which they had discovered on Google Maps. They were a bit lost finding us, and were talking to a neighbor when my wife, Shifra, walked past and rescued them.

They wanted to tour the brewery, which takes about 93 seconds. The tasting takes a lot longer. They were overawed by our brews and especially enjoyed the pre-launch tasting of ‘The Strongest Ginger Beer in the World” and are looking forwarding to buying Ginger Tipple in the USA.

The Political Visit

Soon after they left, the next visitors came. This time it was Flemish politico Kristof Luypaert and his Duvel loving friend Natalie. Kristof heard about the brewery from my wife, Shifra, when he was out campaigning a few months ago.

They were astounded by the novel sensations on their taste buds and spent over an hour enjoying 6 different types of Tipples, especially our exclusive Ginger Kriek. There is only one bottle left of the 2018 vintage; this year’s production is bubbling away.

Dr Beer – The New Tippler

Ginger Beer

It is always a great feeling to recruit a new customers. But when it is a specialist beer bar, or beer café as they are called in this part of Belgium, I am especially pleased.

Dr Beer offers a large selection of beers and ales, but there are only two gluten-free beers on his menu, and they are both from Sulzbachers.

Jeroen Peeters

The owner of Dr Beer, Jeroen Peeters, has been familiar with Ginger Tipple since its early days when he worked at Antwerp’s famed Beer Lovers Bar. When I went to show him the latest versions of our Tipples, he was impressed with the progress we have made.

As a brewer and foodie, Jeroen runs beer and food pairing workshops and tasting events.

And of course there is always a selection of excellent beers available, some of them as good as Ginger Tipple!
