Self-Defined Style: 
Farmhouse Ale, Fruit Beer
Strength (ABV): 
7.1% ABV

Here’s the latest from the little farmhouse brewery that is vigorously campaigning for quality and integrity in Belgian brewing. Bloesem is a celebration of the harvest, made with locally grown pears and honey. It is mellower and slightly sweeter than the normal hoppy offerings from Kerkom.

The Kerkom Brewery is a family operation built into a rambling farmhouse surrounded by Belgium’s best cherry orchards. In the summer beer lovers from all over the country come to drink fresh beer in the courtyard in front of the brewery.

Best With: 
The complex fruitiness of fruit beers make them the ideal pairing with savory desserts, particularly chocolate, cream, and fruit based dishes.

"L'Urchon, the beer of the marshes of the hedgehogs"

In the French speaking south of Belgium, in the town of Irchonwelz, there sits a medieval castle, that once upon a time, was surrounded by a thick marsh. Within the thick marsh, little brown hedgehogs made their home. While the thick marsh is now only damp ground, the critters are still there, doing hedgehog things.

Best With: 
Generally speaking, Belgian ale is a gastronomic miracle. The delicate spicy and fruity nature of these ales, accentuated by the distinctive Belgian yeast strains, pairs beautifully with lamb, mussels, and semi-soft cheeses such as gouda, havarti, and tilsit.

Saison
Strength (ABV): 
5.0% ABV

La Brasserie des Géants began brewing Saison Voisin in 2001, although the recipe dates back to much earlier.

The beer is a revival of a regional style brewed by Brasserie Voisin, a brewery built in 1876 that brewed for over 100 years, but sadly closed in 1989. Géants' Saison Voisin is brewed according to the original 1884 recipe and under the guidance of retired brewer, Léon Voisin. He has proclaimed the new version an accurate reproduction of the original.

Strength (ABV):

The first brew of Gouyasse took several months to develop. Master Brewer Pierre Delcoigne wanted to produce a beer rich in flavor but light in alcohol, working only with four raw materials (malt, hops, water, yeast) and no additives. A noble task and, we think, a successful one.

From the brewery's website:

"Aroma : freshness from the malt and hops evoking all that is natural.

Colour : beautiful light yellow giving the appearance of a filtered beer if you only pour in the first three quarters of the bottle. Naturally it becomes cloudy with the sediment in the final quarter.

Ath, Belgium, the City of Giants, is famous for its annual Parade of Giants. Every year, Goliath – whose name is pronounced ‘Gouyasse’ in the local dialect – leads the parade. The Brasserie des Géants (Giants’ Brewery), in Ath, didn’t think long before naming its first brew ‘Gouyasse.’ Gouyasse is a golden Belgian ale, and a nice one, at 6% alcohol by volume.

Harpoon 100 BBL - Island Creek Oyster Stout

Product - Harpoon 100 BBL - Island Creek Oyster Stout
Brewed By: 
Harpoon
Self-Defined Style: 
Sweet Stout
Strength (ABV): 
5.5% ABV
Bitterness (IBU): 
35 IBU

The idea for the Harpoon 100 Barrel Series Island Creek Oyster Stout came after years of enjoying locally harvested oysters over freshly brewed pints of beer with our friends from Island Creek. Stouts have long been paired with oysters, though seldom brewed with them. This is our take on the age-old tradition.
