We brewed this beer for the first time in our brewers’ garage, together with Karl Vanevenhoven. Karl is a hop lover and COO of Yakima Chief Hops (YCH). The hops that make this beer so special come from YCH. Our brewers met Karl and his family during their trips to the US and have visited them three times in Yakima, the Hop Walhalla of the world.
Karl was the first to brew with this neomexicanous hop, later named Sabro®, while it was still a single hill in the experimental hop yard. Our brewers were immediately overwhelmed by this intense aroma hop, which gives notes of citrus, mint and even some coconut to the beer. To put the hops in the spotlight, as the name of the beer suggests, Sabro® was used almost exclusively along with a small amount of Magnum to give the desired bitterness to the beer. T90 hop pellets were used in the brew kettle during boil and whirlpool while the special Cryo Hop® pellets were used in the fermenter for dry hopping. Karl and his team developed the Cryo process at YCH. This process, in which liquid nitrogen is used, concentrates the hop resins improving beer aroma and quality and letting the hops really shine in the beer.
The result is a very drinkable and superaromatic beer. Think sun, sea and beaches with hints of coconut, lemon(grass) and mint. The Voss Kveik yeast adds a touch of tangerine to all that tropical goodness.
Your perfect companion on a sunny terrace.

Sabro & green curryFOODPAIRING
We had a hunch that our Sabro would go perfectly with an authentic Thai green curry. Spicy and fresh, just the way we like it.
So we tested it out and we were right! Sabro and green curry is a 1 + 1 = 3 combo! 🌶🍋🥭🌶🍻
The herbs in the curry match the spicy hoppiness of the Sabro. We added some extra lemongrass to the curry to underline the fresh notes in the Sabro (bruise lemongrass, cut it, add to the curry but don’t eat it). The lemongrass creates a strong bridge between the beer and the curry and accentuates the tropical hoppiness. The CO2 cuts through the coconut cream while the bitterness of the beer and the spicy edge of the curry balance each other out nicely.
In summary: curry • Sabro • sleep • repeat
If you couldn’t care less about all that beer sommelier talk…just try it!

Our second beer, Black, also started out as a homebrew in a garage in Ghent. Black IPA is a beerstyle you don’t come across very often, but we like it a lot so we brewed our own!
The roasted malts provide the dark color and notes of dark chocolate and coffee. It has a fairly strong bitterness of almost 50 IBU that is further accentuated by the roasted malts and the low alcohol content. Munich & caramel malts balance out the hops and increase the body of this low alcoholic beer.
We have yet again opted for expressive American aroma hops: Sabro, Citra and Simcoe. For dryhop we only used Simcoe, including cryo pellets. The Voss Kveik yeast allows the green, fresh and somewhat dank hopflavors to shine even more.

Five tastes and many more flavors in one pairingFOODPAIRING
To pair our Black, we opted for a complex interplay. The five basic taster: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami in one pairing. A Black IPA always works well with strong cheeses, so we concocted a salad with goat cheese, fried bacon, baked apples, roasted pine nuts, cherry tomatoes, arugula, raisins and a fresh dressing made with honey, mustard, olive oil and wine vinegar. One bite will be a bit sour, the other sweet with a nice bridge of rather salty and umami components. The beer provides the bitter touch.
The baked apples and cherry tomatoes give the dish freshness, which is further underlined by the slightly sour and sweet dressing. The salty goat cheese creates a filmy mouthfeel that the Black IPA will cut through, a contrast that works really well. The salt also enhances the hop and malt flavors in the beer. The tropical character of the Simcoe contrasts with the earthy taste of the arugula, while the raisins, apples and dressing provide the sweet touch.
The roasted pine nuts and especially the savory fried bacon build a strong bridge with the aromas of the roasted malts and bring all the flavors together nicely.

We are proud to dedicate a beer to our Belgian punk legend, The Kids! This hoppy pale ale, Bloody Belgium’, is named after a well-known song of the band that bursts through the speakers at breakneck speed.
Punk as we love it. Rebellious and straight forward.
Hey Ho, let’s go!
The Voss Kveik yeast we used for this beer is also a fan of the genre because after less than a day the brew had already fermented. Bloody Belgium is a nod to our small and bizarre country and so we chose to only use Belgian hops that were grown by our friends at ‘t Hoppecruyt.
‘Bloody Belgium’ was launched on August 21st during Razernij, a beer and music festival organized by our friend Kris De Meester and headlined by…The Kids.

No brainer! FOODPAIRING
Foodpairing with a quaffable, hoppy pale ale called Bloody Belgium?
A no brainer!
We could elaborate on exquisite harmonies and contrasts but sometimes less is more. Let’s call it a thematic beerpairing: Bloody Belgium with Belgian (sorry, France 😉 ) fries!
Our pale ale also pairs perfectly with ‘stoofvlees’ (stew), chicons au gratin, Gentse waterzooi,..you catch our drift. 🙂

Some Tourette members have been to the West Coast of the United States several times and have become even bigger fans of the iconic ‘West Coast IPA’.
So it was obvious that sooner or later we’d brew our own version, inspired by examples from our favorite and renowned breweries in that region. Especially Breakside and Ex Novo from Portland, the beer Walhalla par excellence, have stolen our hearts.
We tweaked the maltbill, hops list and water composition to brew our West Coast true to style. Fairly dry, very aromatic and pleasantly bitter.
The selected Belgian malts bring out the aromas of the American hops. Columbus is our bittering hop. Chinook and (lots of) Citra provide the typical tropical fruity and citrusy notes, and we added Simcoe for the ‘dank’ quality of our Westkust.
Yes, we are proud of this beer! Hope you’ll love it as much as we do!

Taco heaven!FOODPAIRING
This pairing is indebted to the American continent. North for the beer and the hops, South for the food.
Our West Coast IPA goes particularly well with tacos (Carnitas, Al Pastor, Asada,…). Cilantro, lime, onion, tasty and spicy meat, salsa roja, salsa verde and some creamy guacamole on the side.
The combination of lime and hoppy citrus notes is of obviously a winner. The freshness of the cilantro and the flavor of freshly diced onion accentuate the resinousness and dank flavor of the beer. The West Coast bitterness keeps the spicy herbs and salsa roja in check. The fresh bitterness of the West Coast cuts through the rich and creamy flavors (onion, guacamole and juicy seared meat). Enjoy the refreshing and spicy aftertaste and you’re ready for the next bite!

This Imperial Stout is a tribute to Duyster, the legendary Studio Brussels radio show that has warmed our hearts between 2000 and 2015 and made an unexpected and beautiful comeback in 2020. Bands like Low, Mogwai, Pavement, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and hundreds of others will always take us back to these dark Sunday nights.
Hence the name of this beer.
Dark. Duyster.
We brewed Duyster purely with malts, hops and yeast and without extra additions. This is very rare these days, but we love a great challenge. We used Vienna malt for its biscuit taste & aroma, oat flakes for a silky mouthfeel and chocolate & roasted malt for their obvious beautiful reasons.Although hops are not running the show in Imperial Stouts we’ve used a fair amount of Simcoe in the whirlpool for extra flavor.

This beer is the result of our collaboration with GRIMM, the Ghent rock and metal association.
They had the name all picked out: ‘Folkvangr’. In Norse mythology, Folkvangr is the flowery meadow of goddess Freya where fallen warriors spend their afterlife. (Yep, there are more options than just Valhalla)
The choice was obvious to go for a beer with floral flavors as a reference to Freya’s meadow. Belgian Chinook was the perfect hop for this. Belgian Chinook is not the big citrus bomb, but has a subtle floral and fresh flavor. Our bittering hop (Magnum) is also Belgian, hence the golden 100% ‘Belgian hops’ logo on the bottle.
We used Voss Kveik, another link to the Norwegian yeast that gives some extra earthy and fresh notes.
Folkvanger is the third beer of the GRIMM crew, the sixth beer of Tourette. The GRIMM members prefer to pair this beer with a dash of well-chosen metal in Asgaard, their event location in Gentbrugge.

We like to brew single hops as an experiment. By using only one hop variety, you can then really get to know these hops and fully appreciate the flavors.
The most fun experiment is to compare single hop beers side by side. The exact same recipe: a simple maltbill, a neutral yeast and only one hop variety.
So our first SMaSH (Single Malt, Single Hop) started as a homebrew and is one with one of our favorite hops: Belgian Sorachi Ace.
Belgian Sorachi Ace is a very expressive hop. It’s packed with coconut aromas, a hint of dill and a touch of cedar. 🥥 🥥 🥥
The golden promise malt provides a soft backbone that will nicely support the hop aromas and also gives some body to the beer. We also chose the yeast because of its neutral aroma profile.
If, like us, you love a single hop tasting, you can additionally sample our SMaSH #2.

Same principle as for SMaSH #1: one type of malt, one type of hop and a neutral yeast.
For our second SMaSH we chose Citra, a hop that every IPA lover has heard of.
We found it very interesting to smell and taste Citra in its pure form for once. Very recognizable with distinct notes of citrus, grapefruit and more tropical aromas.
Ideal for tasting and comparing with SMaSH #1.
