We have a nice selection of the French farmhouse style at Bruisin’ Ales (like Jenlain,Thiriez and Castelain) and have been hunting for a beer that shows more of the diversity French brewing has to offer. And, so, let us introduce Gavroche. (Gavroche, of course, is named for the little street urchin in Victor Hugo’s epic novel about the French Revolution, Les Miserables.)
What a gem! Brewed by St. Sylvestre in the 3 Monts valley in Flanders, this tasty little red/amber strong ale gives a swift kick at 8.5% ABV. From the Shelton Brothers site:
“…a lovely reddish beer, strong and flavorful, and buoyed by a live yeast culture in the bottle—one of the few bottle-conditioned, re-fermented beers of France. … it’s lively as hell.”
