Galea Craft Beers comes from Antwerp
Galea Craft Beers is registered on Untappd as a contract brewery in Antwerp, Flemish Region, Belgium. A contract brewer has its beers brewed on another brewery's equipment. Which brewery that is for Galea, the available sources don't say.
There is nothing reliable to be found about the founders, the year of founding or the background, and we don't know of a website of their own. That's why we stick to what is established in this story.
Heavy stouts with barrel ageing
What we know of Galea are stouts with a high alcohol percentage: the beers we've had sit between 14 and 14.5 percent. Bourbon is a recurring theme, with Galea ANTWERP Weller Bourbon Barrel Aged (2023), Galea ANTWERP Blantons Bourbon Barrel Aged (2023) and Galea ANTWERP Heaven Hill Bourbon Barrel Aged (2023).
Also on the list are Galea ANTWERP Brandy Vanilla Barrel Aged (2021) and Galea Koko Barik. On Untappd, these beers are among the highest rated of the label.
Galea Craft Beers at Hoptimaal
All five Galea beers we've had are stouts in 33 cl. That size suits the strength: these are beers to share or to sip slowly, not to drink one after the other.
Don't serve them ice cold. At a temperature of around 12 to 14 °C, a heavy stout like this comes into its own. Use a small glass or a tulip glass and give the beer time to warm up.
