It’s a tasting week! This week we’re doing the fine beers of Belgium’s “mad brewers,” a.k.a De Dolle Brouwers. This brewery is one of our personal favorites for over a decade and if you’ve never had one of these mad brews, now is your chance. Chad of Freedom Beverage will be pouring in the Tasting Room between 4:00 and 6:00pm tomorrow.

Arabier  “An arabier is a pure malt beer with flower Nugget-hops from Poperinge. It has the special dry-hopping taste and aroma, so appreciated by beer lovers all over the world.” [8.0% abv] 

Oerbier  “Oerbier is brewed from all different malts, Poperinge Golding hops in flowers and a special yeast which makes it a little tart, especially with aging.”  [9.0% abv] 

Dulle Teve  “Dulle Teve means Mad Bitch, but the U.S. government does not like the name, so we said TRIPEL. It is an all malt brew with white candy in the kettle and refermented.” [10.0% abv] 

Special Extra Export Stout  “Upon request by the American importer, we brew Stout a couple of times a year, with roasted malt, caramel malt and pale malt, Nugget hops and the same fermentation as Oerbier. The combination of all that is a bitter, tart beer, with character.” [9.0% abv]
