Smoked Beer

Buy smoked beer at Belgian Beer Heaven
Although smoked beer originated in Germany, Belgian brewers have embraced the style and added their own unique twist. Our Belgian smoked beers combine smoky notes with signature complexity and richness. At Belgian Beer Heaven, you can choose from over 1,600 beers in stock, including some delightful smoked options.
How the smoky flavor in rauchbier is created
The smoky taste in smoked beer comes from drying the malt over an open fire, usually using beechwood. The smoke penetrates the malt and gives the beer its distinctive flavor. In the past, without modern ovens, brewers always dried their malt over a flame. Traditional breweries like Schlenkerla and Brauerei Spezial in Bamberg still use this age-old method today.
