Cara Pils merchandise has become a lucrative business in Belgium. It’s not just books about Cara Pils that sell. With each year’s intake, tens of thousands of students develop new relationships with the beer after they leave university, all those cans of Cara Pils consumed on late nights or between study sessions take on a nostalgic feel. It facilitates high-volume drinking, with its inoffensive flavor profile, and serves as an affordable social lubricant to bind large groups. Just as Van Papeghem did in his younger days, students in Belgium today prize Cara Pils. “I didn’t like it in the beginning, but now with the green apple and everything, I really start to like it.” “I’m getting used to number five,” said Van Papeghem. It’s not certain whether this was a case of acetaldehyde arising as an off-flavor during production, but all the cans in the slab of 24 presented it when we checked afterwards. In the Lager test, he was unable to identify Cara Pils from the other five Lagers, but he did note a kind of bizarre green apple flavor. He correctly nailed their vintage, country of origin, and grape varietal. “The legend when we were students was that all the ingredients that were disqualified from other breweries were used to make Cara Pils.”īefore the Lager tasting, I gave Van Papeghem two glasses of wine-one red and one white-and asked him to taste them blind and tell me about them. “I have no idea how they make Cara Pils,” Van Papeghem told me before the blind taste test. He worked as head sommelier at the two-Michelin-starred restaurant De Jonkman, near Bruges, where he put Belgian beers in the gastronomic spotlight as much as the wine. Van Papeghem won the Best Sommelier in Belgium award in 2017 from the Belgian Sommelier’s Guild. Given the beer’s price and flavor profile, it’s highly likely that it’s made with cheaper adjuncts like rice or corn as well as malted barley, with a level of hopping that can only be described as low.įor an objective viewpoint on Cara Pils’ qualities, I presented sommelier Jasper Van Papeghem with a range of Belgian Lagers and asked him to taste them blind. There’s no information available about the ingredients used in Cara Pils or about its brewing process except for those which Colruyt is legally required to disclose.
Our dream is to provide creative recipes and healthy seasonings everyone will always enjoy. We’re one team with a dream and the support of the best customers we could ever ask for. The seasonings are crafted with care and shipped to countries all over the world. Shortly after Chris created these seasonings, he began selling them at local farmers markets. The health of people and the foods we eat on a daily basis is what truly matters to the Flavor God Team!.
Sacrificing nutritional value has never been an option. After endless hours in the state-of-the-art Flavor God facilities, he was able to perfect the blend for multiple seasonings that met every specification he had set out to meet without compromising flavor or quality! Chris’s goal is to keep seasonings chemical and filler free, keeping low salt levels, and always staying true to the herbs and spices that he uses everyday. When Christopher Wallace first began making these seasonings in 2012, he relentlessly experimented to find the impeccable elements that would separate his seasonings from everything else currently available in the market.
