About this bottle

Brouwerij Artevelde Gentse Wijze is a strong Belgian blond beer of 8% vol from the Artevelde city brewery in Gent. It is the house's heaviest blond beer, alongside the lighter Gentse Leute. The name refers to the nickname of Jacob van Artevelde: the Wise Man of Gent.

The brewing installation stands in the middle of the premises on the Botermarkt, so guests can follow the brewing. One brew of about a thousand litres is made per day. Parent company Brouwerij Huyghe from Melle has been brewing for much longer, but with this small installation it also brews in the heart of the city. The logo is local too: the A contains, among other things, the dragon, the Lamb of God, the Belfry and a reference to KAA Gent.

There's no accounting for taste and colour. Except when there's Artevelde in the glass. In black and white, the best beer of Gent. So taste Artevelde Gentse Wijze, a refreshing contemporary brew with its typical Gent character. Be wise. Not grey. Just like Jacob van Artevelde, ‘the Wise man’.

Why this works together

Chosen for the beer style (blond), the country of origin (Belgium) and the alcohol content (8%). Enough fizz to carry fat, enough fruit not to clash with a mild sauce.

Serve at 6 to 8 °C.

What is needed

For 4 people

Main courseCod with mustard sauce and leek

Ingredients

600 grams of cod fillet
2 leeks
200 millilitres of cooking cream
2 tablespoons of coarse mustard
30 grams butter
800 grams potatoes
salt and pepper

Method

Peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water for about 20 minutes until tender.
Cut the leek into rings, wash them well and gently braise them for 5 minutes in half of the butter.
Fry the salted and peppered cod in the rest of the butter for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until it just flakes apart.
Gently heat the cooking cream with the mustard and season with salt and pepper.
Serve the cod on the leek, with the mustard sauce and the potatoes.

With the cheeseTête de Moine

160 grams of Tête de Moine

Take the cheese out of the fridge about an hour before serving; that brings out the flavour best.
Only cut or break the cheese just before serving.
