Huyghe Delirium Craft Beer

A pink elephant on the label has become one of the world's most recognisable beer symbols - and a warning of what's to come. Belgium's Huyghe Brewery has been brewing Delirium Tremens since 1906, a beer so complex that even its name references alcohol's more dangerous side. This is beer with both humour and gravity built right into the label.

About Huyghe Delirium Beer

Huyghe Delirium is a Belgian craft beer range from Huyghe Brewery, best known for its flagship Delirium Tremens with its distinctive pink elephant label. For the newcomer, the range is a flavourful introduction to Belgian beer complexity, with notes of spice and fruit; for the beer geek, the name choice itself is fascinating - Delirium Tremens references the medical term for alcohol withdrawal, a bold and self-deprecating gesture from a brewery unafraid to show a sense of humour.

History & Background

Huyghe Brewery was founded in 1906 in Melle, Belgium, and has for generations specialised in complex, high-fermentation Belgian beer styles. The Delirium range, with Delirium Tremens as its most famous expression, was developed as a complex, strong Belgian ale with a spiced and fruity character, carried by the iconic pink elephant on the label. The brewery has since expanded the range with variants such as Delirium Nocturnum, a darker ale, and Delirium Red, a fruit beer, while continuing to combine tradition with innovation and emphasise high quality in production.

Production & Style

Delirium Tremens' particular character and flavour result from the use of three different yeast strains during fermentation, giving the beer its complex profile.

Signature Style

Complex, Fruity, Strong
The flavour offers a full, golden character with fruity and spiced notes as well as a warming alcohol strength.
