Another good shipment arrived this week. There is so much here we can’t wait to dig into. If we had to pick one this week, we’d probably go with the Brasserie Ellezelloise Hercule Stout. Brasserie Ellezelloise (pronounced “EL-ZEL-WOZâ€) makes the only true Belgian Stout. (The De Dolle Special Extra Export Stout is as it says: for export only.) Even better—and we’re mystery buffs—the beer is named for Hercule Poirot, the famed Agatha Christie sleuth who is more or less Belgium’s answer to Sherlock Holmes. The fictional Poirot is from the real town of Ellezelles, where Brasserie Ellezelloise is located.
Fans of the Fraoch gruits of Scotland will also enjoy the Jopen Koyt—a spicy Belgian gruit with a recipe dating to 1407.
