CHAPTER 3

RYE BARREL-AGED BELGIAN QUADRUPEL

So closes our third chapter…
For the third iteration of our annual Chapter-series beer, we lovingly barrel-aged our multiple award-winning X Belgian Quadrupel in rye whiskey barrels. Chapter 3 has big notes of toffee, caramel, banana bread and baking spice. It’s smooth and rich and absolutely made for long, cold nights. It’s ready to drink now, but be sure to put at least one down in the cellar to enjoy in future years.

GOLDEN HOUR

BELGIAN BLOND

Sometimes, simple is best. Like sitting during the final hour of the day – the golden hour – where all that surrounds you is amplified in soft, glowing light. Like sipping a simple but well-crafted ale – one that radiates with a gentle golden hue and subtle aromatics, encapsulating all that is incredible about the Belgian brewing tradition. Golden Hour Belgian Blond has a wonderfully simple grain bill featuring Franco-Belges pilsner malt. It’s crackery and ever-so-lightly toasty. The Belgian yeast strain does all the work here, giving an array of honey, pear and white pepper aromas, with just the lightest juicy fruit aromas and flavours. It finishes mostly dry, with a lingering, rounded sweetness. Deceptively simple. Wonderfully delicious. Take time to enjoy the Golden Hour.

ABBOT

BELGIAN DUBBEL

We joined forces with the most wonderful guys and gals at Banded Peak Brewing to create the most wonderful of winter beers - a dark, luscious Belgian Dubbel called Abbot. This Trappist-style ale boasts dark rich plum and dried fruit notes, with a spicy yeast undertone. It has a wonderful malt complexity that really is quite heavenly. It's perfect for sipping on a cold day and pairs beautifully with rich, slow-cooked meats and stews.
