Why a Bolleke is called a Bolleke
De Koninck has been brewing in Antwerp since 1833. The brewery's best-known beer has long been called Bolleke, and that name comes not from the beer but from the glass: a round goblet. According to VRT NWS, that nickname also became the beer's official name in 2019.
We have three De Koninck glasses in stock: the standard beer goblet, the 25 centilitre Bolleke goblet with the lettering engraved on it, and the 33 centilitre goblet that goes with Tripel d’Anvers.
All three can be ordered individually. Call 0570 541 278 if you want to know whether more from the range is coming in.

Stadsbrouwerij De Koninck is in Antwerp and was founded in 1833 by Johannes Vervliet, who converted an existing coaching inn. The brewery was also initially called Brouwerij De Hand.
Besides Bolleke, De Koninck brews Tripel d’Anvers, among others. That beer has its own 33 centilitre goblet, and we have it on the shelf.
The beer has long been known colloquially as Bolleke. This refers to the round glass in which the beer is served.
Which De Koninck glass do you need?
If you are looking for the glass that comes to the table in Antwerp when you order a Bolleke, the 25 centilitre Bolleke goblet is the right one: round, with the lettering engraved on it.
If you drink Tripel d’Anvers, the 33 centilitre goblet goes with it. The standard beer goblet is the third in the range; its capacity is not stated with the item.
