The world is facing major challenges. This affects every single one of us, us as a society, and us as a company. We are aware that online retail entails an increased carbon footprint. With every step and every bit of growth that is possible thanks to you as part of our amazing craft beer community, we also want to give something back. We have taken several measures to save as much CO2 as possible, offset our emissions , and even neutralize additional CO2 .
Shipping at Beer Belly Cologne is climate neutral! We are a partner of "Planet" and therefore automatically offset the CO2 emissions generated during the individual shipping of our packages.
But that's not all. For every order you place with Beer Belly Cologne, the Eden Reforestation Project plants a tree, and together we improve our carbon footprint. Learn more about the project here . Our Impact Report provides transparent updates on our progress.
We collect all our beers directly from regional breweries. Short and direct routes are good for the beer and the environment.
We also receive beer deliveries by mail. We reuse the cardboard boxes provided by the breweries to send you the beer. So don't be surprised if you receive a used, not new, box.
To save resources, especially for our shipping partners, we pack your order in the smallest possible packaging size.
"The Blonde can be seen as a kind of light version of the Belgian Strong Ale."
It's a relatively young Belgian beer style (around 100 years old) with a moderate malt character. The hop aroma and alcohol content are also fairly average (6-7.5% ABV). Some examples of this style have a slight sweetness, which comes from the addition of rock candy. The color of a Blonde is light to golden (6-8 EBC), the carbonation level is usually relatively high, which makes this beer appear quite fizzy. Belgian yeast is used in the fermentation process, giving the beer a slightly bready character. Pronounced ester notes are often noticeable, and subtle citrus notes are also common. Blondes are generally not bitter, although there are representatives with IBUs up to 30. Unlike other Belgian beer styles, such as Wit , Blonde is always made without additional spices.
