BeerSaturday 409 - Pils (Martens)

in BEER2 days ago

Here's my entry for BeerSaturday 409 with a beer, for once not from Quebec but from Belgium. It's Pils brewed by Martens. A friend gave it to me from a recent trip to Europe, and it's always cool to be able to taste beers from other countries.

Voici ma participation au BeerSaturday 409 avec une bière, pour une fois ne provenant pas du Québec mais de Belgique. Il s'agit de la Pils de Martens. Un ami m'a remené cela d'un récent voyage en Europe, toujours cool de pouvoir gouter des bières provenant d'autres pays.

Today, it's not a map of Quebec, but rather of Belgium to locate the town of Bocholt, where the Martens brewery has been located since 1758.

Aujourd'hui, il ne s'agit pas d'une carte du Québec, mais plutôt de Belgique pour situer la ville de Bocholt où est située la brasserie Martens depuis 1758.

Pils (Martens)


📜 Brewery / Brasserie :

The Brasserie Martens was founded in 1758 in Bocholt. It's still a family business, with the ninth generation at the helm. Impressive... For over 260 years, it has evolved from brewing top-fermented beers traditional to the region, to producing 4 million hectoliters a year and exporting to 100 countries. So impressive... A fine example of success.

La Brasserie Martens a été fondée en 1758 à Bocholt. C'est toujours une entreprise familiale, c'est la neuvième génération qui est au commande. Impressionnnant... Depuis plus de 260 ans, elle a su évoluer en commençant par brasser des bières de fermentation haute, traditionnelles dans la région pour maintenant produire 4 millions d'hectolitres par an et exportant vers 100 pays. Bel exemple de réussite.

🍺 Tasting / Dégustation :

The 5.2% alcohol Pils Belge is a low fermentation pilsner that is now popular in this region. This is a good example of how Martens has always been able to adapt. In the glass, we find a beautiful limpid golden color with a fine, persistent foam. On the palate, there's a subtle balance between light bitterness and malty notes. It's thirst-quenching and accessible, perfect for summer. Can't wait for some warm weather in Quebec... more rain this weekend 😤.

La Pils Belge contient 5.2 % d'alcool est une pilsner de fermentation basse qui est maintenant populaire dans cette région. Cela montre bien l'évolution de Martens qui a toujours su s'adapter. Dans le verre, on retrouve une belle robe dorée limpide avec une mousse fine et persistante. En bouche, on a un équilibre subtil entre une légère amertume et des notes maltées. Elle est désaltérante et accessible, parfait pour l'été. Vivement un peu de chaleur sur le Québec... encore de la pluie ce weekend 😤.

Design

The design of this lager is quite simple. I think the colors are a little too close to the competition, a little Heineken-like, don't you think?

Le design de cette pils est assez simple. Je trouve que les couleurs s'approchent un peu trop de la concurrence, un petit air Heineken, non ?

Those Belgian know how to make beer

And that's why we love them 😀

Damn Heineken comes along 100 years later and copies Martens 😂

Love the factory shot. Warms my heart to see a group of workers proud of their company. I love these kind of photos.

Yep, the colors of the cans are very similar... from a distance you can be mistaken.
And with this mural, great shot... perfect for the 365th anniversary of the brewery.
Have a great Monday
