WEPPA Triple by Brasserie Breweppes: A Strong Golden Ale with Dry-Hopped Aromas

WEPPA Triple is a strong French golden beer produced by Brasserie Breweppes in Herlies, a village located in the Weppes area west of Lille.

The brewery is part of the craft beer scene in the Hauts-de-France region, an area with a long-standing tradition of brewing strong, characterful beers.

The name WEPPA reflects the brewery's connection to the Weppes, a territory closely associated with its identity.

The brewery produces several beers under the WEPPA name, including Blonde, IPA, Triple and Ambrée.

Each expression has its own aromatic character, while the range shares an artisanal approach to brewing.

WEPPA Triple is a strong golden beer with an alcohol content of 9% by volume.

It is designed as a tasting beer, combining a pronounced malt character with subtle aromas derived from dry hopping.

Dry hopping is a brewing technique in which hops are added outside the boiling stage, usually during fermentation or maturation.

Unlike hops added during the boil, which contribute significantly to bitterness, dry hopping is primarily used to extract aromatic compounds.

These compounds can contribute floral, fruity or herbal impressions, depending on the hop varieties and the brewing process.

For WEPPA Triple, the brewery highlights the subtle aromatic contribution of this technique alongside the beer's malty character.

Another important feature is the production method used for the WEPPA range.

According to Brasserie Breweppes, these beers are unfiltered and bottle-conditioned.

Unfiltered beer may retain naturally occurring particles, including some yeast, which can contribute to its appearance and character.

Bottle conditioning involves a secondary fermentation inside the bottle, helping to produce natural carbonation.

A small amount of sediment may therefore be present at the bottom of the bottle.

This is a normal feature of bottle-conditioned beer.

WEPPA Triple belongs to the broader tradition of strong golden beers enjoyed in northern France and Belgium.

Its pronounced malt character gives it a generous, rounded profile.

The dry-hopping process adds aromatic interest, creating a contrast between the richness of the malt and the more delicate contribution of the hops.

The beer is best enjoyed slowly, allowing its flavours to develop as the temperature rises slightly in the glass.

A serving temperature of approximately 8–10°C is a useful starting point.

A tulip-shaped glass or a suitable stemmed beer glass helps concentrate the aromas and provides enough space for the head to develop.

WEPPA Triple is also particularly well suited to food pairing.

Its malt character makes it a natural partner for traditional dishes from northern France.

One of the most interesting combinations is carbonade flamande, a Flemish-style beef stew traditionally prepared with beer.

The rich sauce and slow-cooked meat complement the beer's generous body.

Mature cheeses and charcuterie are also good choices, particularly when their pronounced flavours require a beer with sufficient structure.

Roasted poultry and hearty dishes served with creamy sauces can provide further pairing possibilities.

Presented in a 75 cl bottle, WEPPA Triple offers an opportunity to discover a craft beer closely connected to the brewing heritage of the Weppes.

Its combination of strong malt character, dry-hopped aromas and bottle conditioning makes it a distinctive example of contemporary brewing in northern France.
