Tripel Karmeliet is a golden Belgian beer with 8.4% alcohol by volume brewed by Brouwerij Bosteels in Buggenhout, Belgium. It was first brewed in 1996 and uses three cereals: wheat, oats and barley. It is brewed according to a 1679 recipe derived from the old Carmelite convent in Dendermonde. The beer is then bottled unfiltered, a process known as bottle-conditioned.As a result of high demand after winning the Best Pale Ale at the World Beer Awards in 2008,sales increased unexpectedly in 2009 and numerous pubs didn`t have enough delivered. To meet the new demand, production was increased by 30% with the addition of a new brew vessel, accounting for an additional 6,000 hectolitres 130,000 imp gal; 160,000 US gal annually. Tripel Karmeliet has also been given two awards in the `Best Belgian-Style Tripel` category at the World Beer Cup: gold in 1998, and silver in 2002.
