Like no other, we have mastered the art of <strong>top fermentation<\/strong>, where the sugar is converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Then it&#8217;s time for <strong>natural lagering<\/strong>. We let the beer cool to zero degrees, breaking down the main yeast. Finally, the <strong>secondary fermentation in the bottle or barrel<\/strong> ensures a long-term taste evolution.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\"><\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourchette.com\/en\/shop\/\" class=\"vcex-button theme-button inline\"><span class=\"vcex-button-inner theme-button-inner wpex-flex wpex-flex-wrap wpex-items-center wpex-justify-center\">Discover our shop <\/span><\/a> [\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<style>.vcex-image-grid.vcex_69fb591faa4bb{--wpex-row-gap:0px;}<\/style><div class=\"vcex-image-grid-wrap\"><div class=\"vcex-module vcex-image-grid grid-style-no-margins wpex-row wpex-clr vcex-isotope-grid no-transition wpex-overflow-hidden vcex-no-margin-grid vcex_69fb591faa4bb\" data-transition-duration=\"0.0\"><div class=\"id-2759 vcex-image-grid-entry vcex-grid-item vcex-isotope-entry wpex-text-right vcex-no-margin-entry span_1_of_1 nr-col col-1\"><figure class=\"vcex-image-grid-entry-figure wpex-last-mb-0 wpex-clr\"><div class=\"vcex-image-grid-entry-img entry-media wpex-relative wpex-mb-20\"><img data-no-lazy=\"1\" class=\"wpex-align-middle skip-lazy\" alt=\"Fourchette - Brouwerij Van Steenberge - lagertank\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fourchette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Fourchette-brouwerij-Lagertank_Jef-Versele_02-600x600.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fourchette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Fourchette-brouwerij-Lagertank_Jef-Versele_02-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/www.fourchette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Fourchette-brouwerij-Lagertank_Jef-Versele_02-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.fourchette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Fourchette-brouwerij-Lagertank_Jef-Versele_02-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fourchette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Fourchette-brouwerij-Lagertank_Jef-Versele_02-100x100.png 100w\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<style>.vcex-image-grid.vcex_69fb591fac01f{--wpex-row-gap:0px;}<\/style><div class=\"vcex-image-grid-wrap\"><div class=\"vcex-module vcex-image-grid grid-style-no-margins wpex-row wpex-clr vcex-isotope-grid no-transition wpex-overflow-hidden vcex-no-margin-grid vcex_69fb591fac01f\" data-transition-duration=\"0.0\"><div class=\"id-2505 vcex-image-grid-entry vcex-grid-item vcex-isotope-entry wpex-text-left vcex-no-margin-entry span_1_of_1 nr-col col-1\"><figure class=\"vcex-image-grid-entry-figure wpex-last-mb-0 wpex-clr\"><div class=\"vcex-image-grid-entry-img entry-media wpex-relative wpex-mb-20\"><img data-no-lazy=\"1\" class=\"wpex-align-middle skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fourchette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/20210421_-_Fourchette_beer_-_Chantal_Arnts_242_f3da0f29-a86b-4583-80e9-f11acfac6e67_1200x1200-600x600.webp\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fourchette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/20210421_-_Fourchette_beer_-_Chantal_Arnts_242_f3da0f29-a86b-4583-80e9-f11acfac6e67_1200x1200-600x600.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.fourchette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/20210421_-_Fourchette_beer_-_Chantal_Arnts_242_f3da0f29-a86b-4583-80e9-f11acfac6e67_1200x1200-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.fourchette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/20210421_-_Fourchette_beer_-_Chantal_Arnts_242_f3da0f29-a86b-4583-80e9-f11acfac6e67_1200x1200-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.fourchette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/20210421_-_Fourchette_beer_-_Chantal_Arnts_242_f3da0f29-a86b-4583-80e9-f11acfac6e67_1200x1200-100x100.webp 100w\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<style>.vcex-heading.vcex_69fb591faddc6{width:80%;}<\/style><h1 class=\"vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vcex-module wpex-heading wpex-text-2xl wpex-h1 wpex-max-w-100 wpex-mr-auto golden vcex_69fb591faddc6\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block\">Flavours &amp; Food-pairing<\/span><\/h1><div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\"><\/div>[vc_column_text width=&#8221;80%&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221;]Fourchette is delicious with all kinds of food.
