Your host will be Ross from New Belgium
1554 Black Lager 6pbtl $10.49
Born of a flood and centuries-old Belgian text, 1554 Enlightened Black Ale uses a light lager yeast strain and dark chocolaty malts to redefine what dark beer can be. In 1997, a Fort Collins flood destroyed the original recipe our researcher, Phil Benstein, found in the library. So Phil and brewmaster, Peter Bouckaert, traveled to Belgium to retrieve this unique style lost to the ages. Their first challenge was deciphering antiquated script and outdated units of measurement, but trial and error (and many months of in-house sampling) culminated in 1554, a highly quaffable dark beer with a moderate body and mouthfeel.
Honey Orange Tripel 6pbtl $15.49
For this recipe, New Belgium brewers drew inspiration from Belgian Golden Strong Ale, a style they love. They sought out the very best ingredients, sourcing wild honey from the African Bronze Honey Company, a member of the Fair Trade Federation and a certified B-Corp. The Seville orange peel is freshly ground 24 hours prior to the day we brew by the Old Town Spice Shop, less than one mile from their Fort Collins, Colorado brewery. In the end, they created a big, sweet and citrusy Belgian-style Tripel with thoughtfully sourced ingredients.
Sour Saison 6pbtl $15.49
This intriguing Saison took years to perfect. New Belgium Brewers worked tirelessly to brew an exquisite French-style Saison, while their industry leading Wood Cellar Team worked to mature the perfect Sour Golden Ale in large, French oak barrels called Foeders. The best of both worlds is brought-out with this Sour Saison – a traditional barrel-aged sour ale artfully blended with a rustic, champagne-like Farmhouse Ale. With over 20 years of barrel-aged sour experience and the largest Wood Cellar in the United States, New Beligum is proud to offer Sour Saison as their first ever year-round, traditional sour ale that’s so uniquely New Belgium, it can’t be replicated.
Trippel 6pbtl $12.49
Their Trippel has always been a big, beautiful Belgian-style ale, but in 2015, they tweaked the recipe to include a new yeast variety and even more complex malt profile. This golden beer opens with a bold blast of spicy Noble hops, courtesy of Saaz and Hallertau Mittlefruh, and gives way to the fruity aromas offered by their traditional Belgian yeast. Brewed with Pilsner and Munich malts, Trippel is classically smooth and complex, and sings with a high-note of sweet citrus before a pleasantly dry finish delivers a warm, strong boozy bite. Give Trippel a sip to get you smiling.
