Delirium beer is known worldwide for its iconic pink elephant and unparalleled flavors. But did you know this Belgian favorite is also setting the bar when it comes to sustainability? Huyghe Brewery, the creators of Delirium, are on a mission to ensure their beloved beers don’t just taste great—they’re also brewed with the planet in mind.
In June 2024, Huyghe Brewery announced a major investment of €50 million aimed at further growth and sustainability. This bold move isn’t just about expanding their reach—it’s about reducing their environmental impact.

These efforts align perfectly with what modern beer lovers value—great taste with a conscience.
Delirium Tremens, the flagship beer of Huyghe Brewery, stands as one of the world’s most recognized strong blond ales. First brewed in 1989, this iconic beer is renowned for its complex flavor profile—a delicate balance of fruity esters, subtle spice, and a warming alcohol finish. The golden ale delivers a slightly sweet, malty base with hints of apple, pear, and citrus, complemented by a gentle bitterness from the hops. Beyond its distinctive taste, Delirium Tremens is celebrated for its whimsical branding and award-winning legacy, including being crowned “Best Beer in the World.”
Good news for Australian beer enthusiasts: Delirium Tremens 330ml bottles are available at independent bottle shops across the country, as well as at Dan Murphy’s. Find Delirium Tremens on Tap at your local Belgian Beer Cafe in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth as well as specialty bars and restaurants such as Mokum in Melbourne’s North.
