Discover Barentsz Winter
To sail ice-cold seas, Willem Barentsz first scoured the globe in search of necessary spices for his beers. Cutting down cinnamon trees in Ceylon released delicious warm aromas and in South America descendants of the Incas pointed out the sweet taste of Passion Flower to him. These ingredients proved indispensable to make the Barentsz Winter Beer with which he braved every storm in his quest for Svalbard.
