Briljant Interesting Times is a Tripel by Rob Alphenaar, brewed under the Briljant Brouwhuis label in Haarlem. This Belgian-style tripel at 8.3% ABV stands out through the addition of thyme, which brings subtle herbal notes to the beer.

The name draws from the famous curse 'May you live in interesting times', and the beer was originally created in collaboration with Lokaal Haarlem to raise funds for local musicians. Briljant Brouwhuis takes its name from Café Briljant, a beloved Haarlem institution that has long served as a gathering place for beer enthusiasts.
