Beer name means	An "ara" is a kind of parrot (as seen on the bottle), and "bier" justmeans "beer", so it's "parrot's beer". In fact the name is more a joke,because if you pronounce it in one word, "arabier" in dutch also meansan Arabian man... Tell us more
Comments	Reiska tasted this beer in Vastarannan Kiiski Helsinki, Finland. Very typical Belgian (and De Dolle Brouwers) beer. Quite heavy alcocol procent. On or two bottles is ok, but you cant drink many of these at the same night. Easy way to get hangover. De Dolle Brouwers ("Crazy Brewers") are Herteleer brothers microbrewery in West-Flanders near town Diksmuiden. They bought old 19th century brewery from Esen after they have won homebrewing contest in Belgium. The winning beer was Oerbier. They used to be (and they still are) sunday brewers. They brew 1000 hectolitre a year. They do other jobs for living. For example Kris Herteleer is an architect. He is the one who designed new parts of brewery they use now. He is also the main brewer. Beers they brew are: Oerbier Nat & Straf, which tastes sweet and sourish. Name Oer have two different meanings. First it means ("Ur" in dutch) original. Second it means (in spoken language) whore. Nat and Straf means wet and strong. Oerbier was first beer they brewed for "commercial use". Arabier, quite bitter one. Ara means parrot (also find from label. Sorry about bad picture here) ,but also it reminds about Arabia, which is very dry place. Also this beer is very dry. That dryness comes from Kent Goldings hops. Boskeun, is quite bitter, but still some sweet tastes can be found. Its a Easter beer. Name comes from Kriss second brother. They call him Boskeun, because he look like hare (boskeun). This also the last beer he made for De Dolle Brouwers. In the brewery business he was replaced by third brother. Stille Nacht, is sweet christmas beer, which is also brewed in summer. Esenaar. Esenaar is a seasonal beer. Snoek (pike) This is special brew for one restaurant. Reserva Special, which is very strong beer.
