Fun Fact

The name “Banzai” playfully refers to the energetic ginger kick in this beer. Brasserie Les Acolytes is based in Brussels and works extensively with local ingredients and small-scale production. The use of real ginger in a white beer is relatively rare and gives this beer a distinctive, yet balanced profile that sets it apart from traditional wheat beers.
