Please join us Friday, May 25th, anytime between 4:30-7:30pm, when we welcome Eric Stauffeneger, owner of the Oakland-based wine and beer importing company, Vigneron Imports. Eric has also worked extensively as a sommelier in London, Belgium and France, and although much of Vigneron’s portfolio includes fine French wines, Eric will be presenting some amazing beers that he discovered in France!
Les Brasseurs de Lorraine was established in 2003 by Régis Bouillon and Jean-François Drouin in the commune of Pont-à-Mousson in northeastern France. Passionate about reviving the artisanal know-how of the traditional breweries in Lorraine, Les Brasseurs de Lorraine takes pride in its geographical roots, labeling its products with the regional identifier, ‘La Lorraine notre Signature.’ They were also the first craft brewery to have its products certified ‘Origine France Garantie,’ and in order to preserve the fresh, original taste of each beer, they utilize 100% pure malt, free of additives and preservatives.
Les Brasseurs de Lorraine ‘Loroyse’ Triple is a beer produced with three malts that were specially selected for their taste and olfactory qualities. This beer undergoes a triple fermentation (a rarity in France), which gives it a soft, velvety mouthfeel. The aroma is fruity and spicy with notes of apples and citrus fruits, coriander, malts, caramel and french toast.
Les Brasseurs de Lorraine ‘Lux Divina’ Strong Dark Ale is a deep stygian black beer with virtually no carbonation capped by a small mahogany head. The aroma is a mix of toasted malt, pumpernickel bread and liquorice with biscuity, smoky notes. Medium in body, this beer is dominated by notes of roasted malt and caramel in addition to coffee and bittersweet caramel. It finishes with lingering flavors of roasted malt and grass.
Les Brasseurs de Lorraine ‘Duchesse de Lorraine’ is a red ale produced utilizing 18th century brewing techniques. Brewed with four different varieties of malt including a red malt and a smoked malt, this beer gets its intriguing flavor profile from the addition of sassafras, a typical spice used in beers of this region in the 18th century.
Les Brasseurs de Lorraine ‘Bière Gamote’ is a white beer made from hop malt and bergamot, a fragrant citrus fruit popularized in France by the famous Lorraine candy, ‘Bergamots de Nancy’. This beer has a very light pale yellow color and offers fresh yet subtle citrus aromas and a very delicate mouthfeel.
