Brugge Tripel is a pale blond and clear top-fermented beer. The beer was brewed from 1987 under the name Brugse Tripel by brewery De Gouden Boom in Bruges. After the takeover (2003) and closure (2004) of this brewery, the beer is brewed in the Palm brewery. The brand name was changed to Brugge Tripel, because "Brugs" was a brand of Alken-Maes.
