Two cities, one beer. Rough, hoppy, and irresistibly Belgian.

When two independent craft breweries join forces, you can expect something special. Stroom from Ghent and Frontaal Brewing Company from Breda teamed up for the Swell: a hoppy and rustic Belgian farmhouse ale that captures the best of both countries in one look.

The recipe is thoughtfully simple. Pilsner malt forms the light, fresh base, while spelt adds a subtle roundness and a slightly nutty character — typical of the rustic farmhouse tradition. Magnum hops provide a crisp, clean bitterness, while Belgian Cascade contributes the fruity and floral notes for which that hop variety is loved. The hybrid saison yeast does the rest: spicy, slightly peppery, and with that typically dry, aromatic character that makes a good saison so addictively drinkable.

The result is a beer that lives up to its name: slightly cloudy, lively and fresh, with a dry finish that invites you to take the next sip every time. Accessible enough for a weeknight, interesting enough to pause and reflect.

Delicious with grilled chicken with herbs, a goat cheese roll, or simply enjoyed on its own at sunset on the terrace.
