Press Release: 

D & V International, Inc. the U.S. importer of fine Belgian beers, has announced that Brouwerij St Bernardus will bring its new Extra 4 Abbey Ale to the United States this spring as a limited release.

Extra 4 is a classic Belgian “Single” style, light golden in color, full of flavor and character and brewed with more hops and bitterness in comparison to the other well known St Bernardus abbey ales. Extra 4 will be brewed with high fermentation and bottled conditioned with an ABV of 4.8%. Extra 4 will be a unique, tasty and refreshing spring and summer quencher with a lower alcohol content than such other popular St Bernardus products as Abt 12, Tripel and Prior 8.

Extra 4 will be available through on and off premise locations in 25.4 oz. bottles, four (4) packs of 11.2 oz. bottles as well as 20L kegs.

“What is so exciting about this release is that St Bernardus is bringing back one of its oldest brews to the U.S. market”, said D&V President Vicki Debski. “When the brewery was founded in 1946, the Trappist monks of Westvleteran gave the world four (4) original recipes: Abt 12, Prior 8, Pater 6 and Extra 4, but in the 70’s the Extra 4 brand was no longer commercialized and disappeared from the market. The monks continued to brew this lighter beer for their own consumption only.”
