About This Beer
Scheldebrouwerij Strandgaper is a 6.2% Belgian Blonde Ale that blends tradition and approachability into one smooth, sunny pour. Brewed by Scheldebrouwerij – a Dutch-founded brewery now based in Belgium – this light golden ale offers all the charm of a classic Belgian blond, elevated with crisp hops and delicate yeast expression.
Strandgaper (meaning “shellfish” or “beachcomber” in Dutch) is designed to be a thirst-quencher with character. It showcases fruity esters from the yeast, subtle notes of spice, and a clean malt backbone that finishes dry and lightly bitter. It’s a versatile beer that suits all seasons and occasions — ideal for craft beer online shoppers seeking sessionable Belgian options.
