Elfentripel is the flagship beer of Bierbrouwerij De Elfen in Assen, Drenthe. This heavyweight top-fermented special ale delivers an intriguing contrast: a crisp, clean opening that transitions into a warm, full finish. At 8.2% alcohol, it remains approachable despite its strength.

The brewery began humbly, with home brewing in an attic room before developing into a proper operation. Elfentripel became their signature – a beer that holds malt, hops and yeast in genuine balance. It is a tripel as the style demands: complex enough to command respect, yet accessible to those who appreciate the category.
