The name for this brew was taken from the local Belgian word used for hops, “hommel”, which is presumed to have been derived from the Latin word for hops, humulus. Appropriately, Poperings Hommel Ale has almost twice the bitterness of other Belgian beers. The brewery brews its beer with only locally grown hops from two families in the Poperinge area, and with soft water from its own well.
