From Wikipedia: Barbar is a Belgian beer brand. It’s unique for its honey based flavor. The honey is used with the malted wheat and the hops in the fermentation process yielding a sweeter and richer flavored beer. Being a honey based ale it might be that Barbar is based on the old Viking alcoholic beverage called Mid. Although the recipe for this beer is a closely kept secret of Lefebvre, and the origins of this beverage, as stated by Lefebvre, are from an old family recipe. Originating from a Viking beverage may also be the reason for calling this brand “Barbar” (like barbarian) and putting a barbarian drawing as a logo.

A company favourite of ours. Equally delicious on a hot summer afternoon than on a cold winter night. This sweet honey beer is great to enjoy over a nice conversation (or a heated discussion), but don’t let the mild taste fool you: this honey is strong! (see also: Duvel)
