About the brewer

The story of Force Majeure begins in 2019 with triathlete Stijn Panis’ passion. As an athlete, he combined his deep love for fine Belgian craft beer with his passion for entrepreneurship. However, he felt there was one thing missing on the shelves: a high-quality craft beer without the alcohol, one that fits perfectly into a healthy and active lifestyle.

Force Majeure is now the only brewery in Belgium that focuses entirely and exclusively on brewing non-alcoholic beers. No compromises on taste, but the ultimate freedom to raise a glass whenever you want. With a deep respect for traditional Belgian beer culture, Stijn brings true classics—such as Blond, Dubbel, Tripel, and this fruity Kriek—into the modern world of 0.0.

A complex interplay of caramel and roasted malt

What makes Force Majeure Bruin so special is its refined and warm flavor profile. While many non-alcoholic dark beers lack depth, this Dubbel remains true to its Belgian roots. From the very first sip, you’ll immediately taste the recognizable, subtle sweetness of light caramel, harmoniously combined with the rich notes of roasted malt.

Thanks to the addition of carefully selected herbs and a solid base of high-quality barley malt, the beer retains the body, texture, and mild bitterness you’d expect from a craft-brewed brown ale.

Specifications and features

What should you eat with this Force Majeure Bruin?

Thanks to its malty depth, subtle caramel notes, and spicy complexity, Force Majeure Bruin pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes. Its roasted flavors complement savory and slightly sweet dishes perfectly. Try it with, for example:

• Rich stews: from a classic (vegetarian) beef stew to a mushroom ragout, the beer’s malty notes enhance the dish’s deep flavors.

• Aged and hard cheeses: pair the Bruin with a cube of crumbly cheese or a mild blue cheese. The cheese’s creamy and salty flavors blend beautifully with the caramel notes.

• Grilled (vegetarian) meat: the smoky flavors from the barbecue or grill pan are a match made in heaven with the roasted malt in the beer.

• Desserts with chocolate or nuts: think of a warm brownie, a pecan pie, or a chocolate mousse. The beer’s subtle bitterness perfectly balances the dessert.
