About this bottle

Bird Brewery Kerstmus Kerstbier is a dark, robust Christmas beer of 8% ABV in a 75 cl bottle. It is brewed with a blend of malts and has a colour of 45 EBC and a bitterness of 20 IBU. The label shows the tree sparrow, recognisable by its brown cap and black cheek spot; males and females look the same.

Kerstmus is one of Bird Brewery's seasonal beers, alongside Tortelduifje around Valentine's Day and Eggcited for Easter, among others. Those beers also follow the Dutch brewery's set formula: a bird's name with a pun, and on the label a fact about the bird in question. So with every beer the drinker gets to know a different bird, from the eagle owl to the tree sparrow. The 75 cl bottle is meant for sharing.

The blend of malts gives this Christmas beer a nice full body. The dark beer is robust, flavourful and pleasantly spicy. A lovely beer for the Christmas holidays.

Why this works together

Chosen on the basis of the beer style (winter beer), the country of origin (the Netherlands), the alcohol content (8%) and the spicy note in the description. Look at the colour and the alcohol content: light and blond goes with poultry and fish, dark and heavy with stew and cheese.

Serve at 10 to 12 °C.

Cut the potatoes into wedges and roast them with oil and salt in an oven at 200 °C for 35 minutes until golden brown.
Coarsely crush the peppercorns in a mortar.
Fry the salted steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side in hot butter and let them rest outside the pan.
Briefly toast the pepper in the cooking fat, pour in the cooking cream and let the sauce reduce for 3 minutes until it thickens.
Serve the steak with the pepper sauce and the potatoes.
