Guild Box 24: Exclusive Beers and Food Pairings

Charlotte — Tue, 06 May 2025 16:25:55 +0000

In your latest Guild Box 24, you won’t just find any beers – these are exclusive Moersleutel beers that you can only get as a Guild Member. The best part? Not only are they delicious, but they also pair perfectly with food. So grab your fork (or fingers) and read on: we’ve curated the ultimate beer and food pairings just for you!

The Exclusive Beers in the Webshop of Guild Box 24

EUREKA Maple Bacon Pancake Stout
EUREKA Crystale Malt Wine
EUREKA Belgian TIPA
EUREKA Argonated Export Stout
INDULGENCE 24

Ready to explore these bold beer and food pairings? Whether you’re into rich stouts or hoppy TIPAs, there’s a perfect bite to match every brew.

Beer Food Pairing: Crystale Malt Wine with Aged Cheese

This Crystale Malt Wine is bold and sweet, with a complex body that’s reminiscent of a barleywine. Pair this beer with aged crumbled cheese and fig compote for the perfect balance of savory and sweet. And if you really want to indulge, add a piece of dark chocolate – it’s the ultimate flavor explosion!

Vegetarian Option: This pairing is already vegetarian-friendly. For an extra twist, you can swap out the cheese for vegan cheese and serve with roasted nuts like walnuts or almonds to add richness.

Beer Food Pairing: Belgian Triple IPA with Mussels and Fresh Fries

A strong Belgian TIPA that offers both fruitiness and a hint of hop bitterness is the perfect match for spiced mussels and fresh fries with aioli. The Belgian character of the TIPA pairs wonderfully with seafood, while the bitterness cuts through the fat of the fries. A classic, but with a Moersleutel twist!

Vegetarian Option: Swap the mussels for roasted mushrooms (such as portobello or shiitake) with a bit of smoked paprika for that same savory depth. Serve with the crispy fries for that perfect balance.

Beer Food Pairing: Argonated Export Stout with Toffee Pudding

The Argonated Export Stout is a super smooth stout that truly showcases its complexity thanks to the addition of argon. It has a velvety texture that pairs perfectly with the rich, sticky toffee pudding. The caramel and coffee notes in the stout make this the perfect dessert pairing.

Vegetarian Option: This pairing is also vegetarian-friendly! For a twist, try vegan sticky toffee pudding, using plant-based butter and a flaxseed egg replacement – it’s equally rich and decadent!

Beer Food Pairing: Maple Bacon Pancake Stout with Smokey Chicken Wings

And now, a combination that will blow your taste buds away: smokey chicken wings with Maple Bacon Pancake Stout. The smoky and spiced flavors of the chicken wings are beautifully complemented by the sweet, smoky tones of the beer. It’s the ultimate balance of savory and sweet, with a hefty dose of smokiness to tie everything together.

Vegetarian Option: For a meatless version, swap the chicken wings for smoky grilled cauliflower steaks or tempeh strips. The smokiness and spiciness of these vegetarian alternatives pair perfectly with the rich, maple-sweet beer.

Beer Food Pairing: Indulgence 24 with pineapple with dark rum Caramel Sauce

For Indulgence 24, with its tropical sweetness, barrel complexity, and deep molasses-coconut-licorice profile, you’ll want a pairing that complements its rich, dessert-like qualities without overpowering them.

Grilled pineapple with dark rum caramel sauce. The natural sweetness and slight acidity of grilled pineapple cut through the beer’s thick body, while a drizzle of dark rum caramel ties in beautifully with the molasses, coconut, and boozy notes from the Rhum Clement barrels. Serve warm for an indulgent pairing that mirrors the beer’s tropical, dessert-like complexity.

Vegetarian Option: Keep it fully plant-based by using coconut cream in the caramel sauce and grilling with vegan butter or oil. Optional sprinkle of toasted coconut for extra flair.

Ingenious ways to reuse your Guild box

Fenna — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 15:00:56 +0000

With our new Guild boxes, recycling is one option, but before breaking down those boxes, check out these ideas that repurpose cardboard into something useful, fun or beautiful.

Turn it into a mini-garden

Cut off the top of the cardboard box and line the bottom with plastic. Fill it with soil and plant some herbs or small plants.

Create a playhouse for kids

Cut out windows and doors, paint it in bright colors, and add some cushions and blankets to make a cozy play area.

Make a DIY bookshelf

Attach multiple boxes together with glue to create a unique bookshelf.

Use it as a storage container

Use it to store clothes, toys, or other items.

Create a birdhouse

Cut out a small hole in the front of the box and attach a perch. Hang it outside for the birds to enjoy.

Make a pet bed

Cut off one side of the box and add a soft cushion or pillow inside. Your pet will love their cozy new bed.

Turn it into a gift box

Use the box to wrap up a present.

Use it as coasters

Cut up the box in small squares and repurpose them as disposable coasters.

Create a cord holder

To keep small cords organized by putting paper towel rolls vertically in the box until full. Place a single small cord in each tube.

Make a dispenser box

Cut a hole in the top of the box as big as your hand, place your plastic bags in them and close the box. You can pull out one bag at a time as you need it.

Guild gets first try Zomerdijk B&B sours

Fenna — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 15:18:02 +0000

Those of you who’ve been with our Family for a while now, might remember that we used to release special wild fermented ales, from time to time. This is not part of the Moersleutel Craft Brewery, but of Zomerdijk Brewing & Blending.

These beers started as experiments, then they became ways for us to celebrate the Zomerdijk youngsters that were born, or honor the dear people in our life.

Last summer, Pim and Randjena welcomed their daughter Lauren. Last december, just before Christmas, Tom and Rowie welcomed their second child, Hugo.

Pim’s son Thijmen is a bit older now, and we weren’t brewing yet at the time of his birth, but it felt right to name a beer in honor of him too.

This weekend we’re releasing three beautiful different wild fermented ales, aged for 26 months in Bordeaux barrels.

As a Guild Member you get 10% discount on the set, and you will be the first to be able to get them (please note: these won’t be featured in the Guild Box itself).

Available in the Guild Exclusives page on Friday 17.00 hr.

Available in the Moersleutel webshop on Saturday 17.00 hr (as long as stock lasts).

This is a really small batch, so one set per customer only.

We hope you’ll enjoy this surprise release and are looking forward to drink some of our old timey funky sours. We surely will!

Cheers,

the Moersleutel Family
