Dutch triple (9,2%)

Laatst dronk ik weer een lekkere tripel. Het was de Dutch Triple: een gedryhopte triple met STERK karakter volgens het etiket. Volgens mij bedoelen ze de smaak, want die is stevig en lekker! Als ik de website https://dutchbeerbrewery.nl/ opzoek staat er "Binnenkort meer info op deze pagina." tja als ik dan verder zoek vind ik erg weinig:

The Power of Three: The Dutch Triple Helix Approach Powers AI The Dutch are finding AI solutions for the future through collaboration... Recognizing that AI  is one of the key drivers of opportunity in the 21st century, the Dutch government launched its Strategic Action Plan for AI in 2019. The strategy acknowledges that AI is a huge asset in economic growth and that it can help us solve many problems of the future, but that the technology also comes with its challenges. Through the strategy, the Dutch government aims to capitalize on the societal and economic opportunities presented by AI, as well as safeguarding the public interests of AI, thus contributing to prosperity and well-being. The key to reaching this goal is collaboration. To foster ideal conditions for innovation, the Dutch traditionally take a triple helix approach, where government, business and academia join hands to find solutions for the future. Public-private partnerships (PPP) are the Dutch way of driving success in research and development. And this also goes for AI. To stay at the forefront of AI development, the Netherlands set up intensive PPPs, ensuring the country can make a difference on the European playing field and in global markets.

Tja dat gaat niet over bier, maar AI en films. Ik zocht info over de triple.

Tripel is een vrij zware biersoort met een alcoholpercentage tussen 7% en 10%. Door de toevoeging van suiker zijn de smaken zoetig. Deze toevoeging zorgt trouwens ook voor het hoge alcoholpercentage. De kleur van tripel is goudblond en dus lichter dan dubbel bier en quadrupel bier. (https://www.gall.nl/bier/soorten/tripel-bier/)

Een tripel is een meestal goudkleurig en zwaar bovengistend bier. Het alcoholpercentage ligt tussen de 7 en 11%. Dit hoge alcoholpercentage ontstaat doordat er veel mout wordt gebruikt en er veel suikers worden vergist. (https://www.biernet.nl/algemeen/biersoorten/tripel)

A triple, sometimes spelled trippel or tripel, usually is a golden beer ranging from 8% to 9.5% (although there are some that go much higher).  Triple is probably the most famous and commonly copied of the Trappist styles. Westmalle is considered to be the “king” of the triples and is fairly easy to find.  Chimay White is also a great example.

Tripel is a term used by brewers mainly in the Low Countries, some other European countries, and the U.S. to describe a strong pale ale, loosely in the style of Westmalle Tripel.[1] The origin of the term is unknown, though the main theory is that it indicates strength in some way.[2] It was used in 1956 by the Trappist brewery, Westmalle, to rename the strongest beer in their range, though both the term Tripel and the style of beer associated with the name (strong pale ale), were in existence before 1956.[2] The style of Westmalle's Tripel and the name was widely copied by the breweries of Belgium,[3] and in 1987 another Trappist brewery, the Koningshoeven in the Netherlands, expanded their range with a beer called La Trappe Tripel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripel) 

Waar de term tripel vandaan komt is niet helemaal bekend. Bekendste verklaring is toch wel dat tripel de kracht van het bier aangeeft. De naam ‘tripel’ werd voor het eerst gebruikt in 1936 door de Trappistenbrouwerij in Westmalle. Ze brouwden toen hun sterkste biertje voor de opening van hun nieuwe brouwzaal. De naam tripel werd hierna overal gekopieerd en verspreide zich zo van merknaam tot soortnaam. Andere producten die nu ook onder de naam Tripel bier vallen zijn Hertog Jan Tripel, La Trappe Tripel en Affligem Tripel. Waar tripel bier vandaan komt valt dus niet te betwisten. Dat was bij Trappistenbrouwerij Westmalle. Hier brouwde Hendrik Verlinden van brouwerij Drie Linden in het begin van de jaren 1930 samen met de trappisten het eerste blondkleurige tripel bier, wat toen nog super bier werd genoemd. Dit superbier werd zo genoemd door z’n (super) sterke karakter. Het recept was gebaseerd op een blond bier dat de monniken sporadisch brouwden sinds 1931. Superzware bieren werden al langer gebrouwen, maar waren altijd donker gekleurd. En zo kom je ze nu nog steeds tegen. Vandaag de dag wordt tripel overal gedronken maar Nederland en België zijn de grootste producenten en afnemers.  (https://www.gall.nl/bier/soorten/tripel-bier/)

The term Tripel comes from the Low Countries (now Netherlands and Belgium); though the origin of the term is unknown. The two main theories are that it indicates strength, either by a series of marks, such as crosses, on a cask - X for the weakest strength, XX for medium strength, and XXX for the strongest beer, or by reference to the original gravity of a beer which roughly corresponds to 3% abv, 6% abv or 9% abv.[2] According to brewing historian Michael Jackson, the first golden strong pale ale associated with the term was brewed by Hendrik Verlinden of the Drie Linden (Three Lindens) brewery in the early 1930s, when ale brewers were looking to compete with the pale lagers from Plzeň.[2][6] Verlinden had an association with the Trappist brewery, Westmalle, assisting them with brewing,[7] and becoming the only secular brewer allowed to carry the Trappist Beer designation.[8] In 1933, Westmalle released a beer under the name Superbier; this was the year after Verlinden produced a golden strong pale ale for his own brewery, the Witkap Pater (now known as Witkap Tripel, produced by the Slaghmuylder Brewery).[9] It was a strong blonde ale and was very likely based on a blonde beer the monks had been brewing sporadically since 1931. In 1956 they renamed it Tripel, and the popularity of that brand ensured the name is still strongly associated with the Westmalle brewery,[10] though both the term Tripel and the style of beer associated with the name (strong pale ale), were in existence before 1956.[2] In 1956, the recipe was modified by the head brewer of Westmalle, Brother Thomas,[11] by the addition of more hops, and it then took on the name Tripel. It has remained essentially unchanged since. Tim Webb in his Good Beer Guide to Belgium says that some of the pre-1956 beers called Tripel were dark, in contrast to modern beers using the term.[12] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripel)

Een tripel is vaak een zwaar bovengistend bier met hergisting in de fles. De complexe smaak dankt tripel aan de typische gist die is toegevoegd aan het product. Ook de hop en mout dragen bij aan de bitterheid. De hoeveelheid mout is spreekwoordelijk 3 keer hoger dan een normaal trappistenbiertje. Het alcoholpercentage ligt tussen de 7% en 10%. Hoe het komt dat dit percentage zo hoog is? Doordat suiker of glucose wordt toegevoegd bij het brouwen. Dit verhoogt het alcoholpercentage en draagt bij aan de zoetige smaak van tripel bier. Heel verraderlijk!  (https://www.gall.nl/bier/soorten/tripel-bier/)

 a X indicated a single, XX a double, XXX a Triple, and XXXX a quad.  It’s in this tradition that these beers most likely got their names. The MBAA (Master Brewers Association of the Americas) provides a more technical theory on how these beers earned their name based on the parti-gyle system of mashing.  In this system, you drain off your first running of wort and keep it separate   This leads to a first running with a fermentable sugar content of about 22.5%.  The second wash (after the first has completely drained) would be less strong at around 15%.  The final wash would end up with a sugar content of about 7.5%.  Now if you work backwards, the double has 2x’s the sugar as the single and the triple has 3x’s the sugar as the single.  Essentially, you’d have 3 beers of 3 different strengths brewed from one mash.  While most people no longer use this system (they blend all the washes together), it might be a good historical explanation on how these styles got their names. Some of the more common and erroneous theories revolve around the idea that a double has 2x’s the malt of a single and a triple, 3x’s the malt of a single.  Or that they’re double or triple fermented.  If this were the case, the alcohol levels would be significantly higher as “pounds of extract collected is linear,” according to Jamie Emmerson, Executive Brewmaster of Full Sail Brewing.  He believes the most likely reason involves ancient methods of brewing based around the above mentioned “parti-gyles” system.  Jamie also contacted one of his Belgian brewing friends and this is what he said: “As far as I’m informed, this old designation was in the abbeys for the strength of the beer (and hence the strength of the wort used to make it).  “Double” made with stronger wort and “Triple” with even stronger wort.  The “Petite Bière” (litterally “Small Beer”) was made from the last sparging water and was a light beer for local consumption of the monks themselves. Today these are only marketing words. It is pretty much referred that the “Double” are rather dark beers somewhere in the 6-8° alcohol and “Triple” are rather pale beers with higher alcohol contents (8° and above). But there is no strict rule for that. And this is also often confused with “double fermentation” and “triple fermentation” (fermentation/ageing/repitching in bottle) which are even more only marketing fancy words.” (https://ithinkaboutbeer.com/2013/03/19/q-ale-why-are-they-called-dubbel-tripel-quad-etc/)

Leuk, al die achtergrondinformatie over deze bierstijl, maar wat is over Dutch Triple te zeggen?

Op https://untappd.com/b/dutch-beer-brewery-dutch-triple/4957491 vind ik een hoop foto's en vermeldingen van het bier. Jammer dat er weinig achtergrond bij staat . 

Maar eerlijk is eerlijk het bier is lekker, met een kruidige smaak. Zeker de moeite waard! Maar wat is het achtergrondverhaal? Bij de KvK vind ik enkel Dutch Beer Concepts Brewery B.V. en Beer Broker Dutch Brewery XL Beer B.V. Groothandel.  Via Google kom ik nog tegen: Kompaan - Dutch Craft Beer Company, waar is Dutch beer brewery?
