Curator’s Notes

I bought this glass on impulse while browsing a beer shop in central Brussels, paying around €7 — rather extravagant by the standards of much of this collection.

The 33cl tulip is completely frosted, providing a suitably misty background for the wonderfully illustrated band of trolls wrapped around its bowl. Look closely and their strange green headwear is particularly appropriate: the trolls wear hop cones as hats.

Despite appearances, they do not seem to have wandered out of an ancient Belgian legend. Cuvée des Trolls was created by Brasserie Dubuisson in 2000, with the troll character appearing on the beer from the beginning. The brewery deliberately embraced the fantasy imagery and a more playful identity, initially helping the new beer appeal to a younger audience. The character subsequently developed into an entire cast of trolls and even starred in an animated film.

Manufactured in 2025, this example shows how thoroughly that invented mythology has become part of the beer's identity.
