Buy champagne beer for any occasion
Looking for a special beer with a refined, sparkling finish? Then champagne beer is the perfect choice. This specialty beer is ideal for festive occasions, as an aperitif, or as a stylish gift.
Champagne beer is a top-fermented specialty beer that undergoes a unique fermentation process. It is brewed using traditional beer-making methods but then goes through an additional maturation inspired by the Méthode Traditionnelle from the world of champagne.
- The beer is first fermented and aged like a classic specialty beer.
- It then undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, often with champagne yeast, which creates fine carbonation.
- Finally, the beer is clarified through remuage (shaking, turning, and repositioning the bottles) and dégorgement (removal of sediment), just like champagne. This gives champagne beer its characteristic dry and sparkling profile.
Brut beer vs traditional Belgian beer
At Belgian Beer Heaven, you’ll find over 1,600 Belgian beers. Yet, champagne beers stand out from the crowd. What sets them apart from more traditional Belgian brews such as pilsners and craft beers?
- Finer carbonation, similar to champagne.
- A dry and crisp finish, often lighter and more elegant than classic beers.
- Secondary fermentation in the bottle with champagne yeast, adding extra complexity.
- Higher alcohol content, typically between 10% and 12%.
Champagne beer is not just a thirst-quencher but an experience, perfect for those who appreciate refined flavors.

How to serve champagne beer
Want to fully enjoy the refined aromas and bubbles? Serve your champagne beer chilled but not too cold – between 6 and 8°C is ideal.
