VIVAT TRIPLE, A bELGIAN STyLE REINTERPRETATION

VIVAT,
THE ORIGIN OF A NAME
“Vivat” is an ancient Flemish custom of
uniting beer with wedding celebrations.
A towel was held over the head of the
newlywed and a few drops of beer
were poured while singing “Vivat
vivat semper, Semper in aeternum…”
(Live lives always, Always forever). By
naming our beer range “VIVAT”, we
like to think it enables us to keep the
tradition of this impressive brewery
alive (Vivat in aeternum, Live forever).
VIVAT TRIPLE
A real bottle conditioned beer directly
inspired from the Vivat Blonde, they
share the same specific yeast and
same cocktail of hops. It is the slight
addition of spices that combine with the
refermentation in bottle that gives this
beer all of its aromatic complexity, sweet
with citrus notes. Perfectly balanced, a
generous hopping, a round and long
finish are the main qualities of this
exceptional beer.

La Brasserie Historique
de l’abbaye du Cateau
Erected on the site of an original
Benedictine Abbey, “la Brasserie
Historique de l’Abbaye du Cateau”
was built in 1913. After 13 years
of success, the brewing activities
were stopped and the building was
then used as a depot for the former
brewery of the abbey of Solesmes.
In the 40’s, during the Second
World War, the building was used
to house Allied troops. After 50
years of neglect followed by 4
years of renovation the brewery
was reopened. Now classified as a
“Historical Monument” it is the only
gravity brewery to remain active
in Europe. We have turned it into
a living museum to welcome beer
lovers and have created a beautiful
restaurant inside the brewery so
visitors can enjoy the beers and
savor some local dishes.
