Please join us Friday, April 27th, anytime between 4:30-7:30pm when we welcome Peter Elzer to our wine bar. Peter is the NORCAL Beer Sales Representative for Wine Warehouse, which has an extensive Belgian Beer portfolio. We are thrilled to share a flight of the following five World class Belgian Beers with you!

St Bernardus Wit  is a traditional Belgian white beer brewed in collaboration with the legendary Master Brewer Pierre Celis who developed the recipe for Hoegaarden. St Bernardus Wit is very pale (whitish-yellow in color), quite hazy and pours a dense, white head. In aroma, it has a wheaty, apple-like tartness. On the palate, St. Bernardus offers herbal-spicy notes highlighted with coriander and orange fruitiness and a honeyish sweetness. This beer is very refreshing and is the perfect thirst quencher for a San Francisco Spring day.
 
Cuvée des Jacobins Rouge Barrel Aged Sour  is a Flemish Sour Ale, red in color with a balance of malty sweetness and acidic sharpness. It is made from spontaneously fermented and barrel-aged beer of at least 18 months in age. The beer is cooled overnight in a large, shallow metal vessel known as a coolship and then fermented and aged in large oak foeders (casks). Robust in character, this sour is complex, intriguing and sophisticated with a full body and overtones of vanilla, dried cherry, stone fruit and cocoa.
 
Petrus Aged Pale Ale Produced by Brouwerij De Brabandere in Bavikhove, Belgium, this delicious ‘Petrus Aged Pale’ is considered by many to be the benchmark of aged sour beers and has won multiple gold medals in beer competitions worldwide. Aged in large oak foeders for 24 months, this beer develops notes of sherry, roasted lemon and tart granny smith apple. Touted as the ‘Mother Beer’, Petrus Aged Pale has also been used (since the brewery's inception in 1894) as a blending-beer with other styles to give them fresh, slightly sour flavors and aromas. Petrus Aged Pale is very dry, astringent and vinous, and definitely a beer that shines alongside something salty and savory such as a tangy aged goat cheese!

Boon Oude Kriek Mariage Parfait is an “Old Style Kriek” brewed in Lembeek, the village that gave Lambic its name.  It is unsweetened, unfiltered, unpasteurized and has no artificial flavors, preservatives or colors added.  400g of wild cherries per litre are fermented together with a strong Lambic of spontaneous fermentation and aged in 6,200 litre oak foeders (casks) for six to eight months. Kriek Mariage Parfait is naturally clarified and referments in the bottle.  After a maturation of 6 months in bottle, it is ready for drinking.
 
Gouden Carolus Indulgence Cuvée is part of a limited series of beers brewed every year with varying content and this 'Cuvée Sauvage' is the 2nd style to be produced under this label. From Brouwerij Het Anker in Mechelen, Belgium, this strong blonde ale is blended with two and three year old Lambic; It's fruity complexity makes it a beer for wine lovers: notes of apricot, orchard peach and savory fennel greet you on the nose. The medium-bodied palate shows flavors of malt, yeast, peach, spices and wood with a sour undertone. A slight carbonation accentuates the bright, lambic fruit notes and helps to balance the slightly bitter essence of mandarin orange peel on the finish.
