IJsbok
IJsbok is a living, not pasteurized, fermented beer.Source of inspiration for this beer is the Nova Zembla travelogue "To the North" by Gerrit de Veer in 1597. The report describes how the ship's crew to their surprise discovered that deep in a frozen bierfust liquid was left, which tasted great. All the power of the beer had been concentrated in that little bit liquid beer.
SNAB has succeeded with its "IJSBOK" to mimic this process. A very special beer has become available for beerlovers.
