A collaboration between Gaverhopke and Tired Hands Brewing Company. Tired Hands worked with Bruno and Gudrun at ‘t Gaverhopke in Stasegem to create Bittersweet Symphony. BSS is a 7.8%, blonde, Double IPA brewed with a touch of caramel malt, wheat, a blend of citrus-forward hops, and fermented with ‘t Gaverhopke’s house yeast. A side note: ‘t Gaverhopke uses a koelschip to cool their wort down en route to the fermenter.
