Belgian Pale Ale
Tasting Notes: Our Belgian style pale ale has subtle aromas of toasted malt and floral hops.  It is a medium bodied ale that has a delicious balance of lightly toasted malt, a hint of fruity esters, and a slight spiciness arising from the yeast and hops with a clean, dry finish.  
Pair with: Meat dishes, such as sausages, burgers, roast poultry or anything with toasted breads such as grilled cheese sandwiches or battered foods such as fish and chips.


Patersbier
Tasting Notes: This “father’s beer” has a beautiful aroma of ripe fruits with hints of citrus, perfumy floral hops, and a faint biscuity malt.  A light to medium bodied ale with bright fruity flavors up front; its impression of sweetness is balanced by a deliciously clean and dry finish.  This is traditionally the monk’s every day drinking ale...and may soon becomes yours!
Pair with: All types of hors d’oeuvres or any dish with fruits such as Asian foods or salads.


Wit
Tasting Notes: Our wit is a delightful thirst-quenching rendition of the classic Belgian wheat ale brewed with orange peel, coriander, and a carefully sourced third spice.  The aroma and flavors are a balance of bright fruits, spice, and wheat. It has a soft traditional haze and a light to medium body.
Pair with:  Lighter seafood dishes, mild or herb cheeses, and citrus desserts.  This is the perfect brunch beer; try mixing it with orange juice as a delicious spin on a mimosa.


Saison
Tasting Notes: Our saison is a refreshing example of the traditional farmhouse ale.  The distinctive aroma and flavors are of sweet malts, zesty citrus and peppery spices with a hint of earthiness.  It has a medium body and a crisp dry finish.
Pair with: Goat cheese, Asian and Middle Eastern foods, or any grilled meats.

Pair with: Hearty roasted or grilled meat dishes, aged cheeses, and a variety of desserts.


Barleywine
Tasting Notes:Our barleywine is a sumptuous Belgian spin on this historic strong ale.  Extended aging with raisins and oak results in aromas and flavors of caramel, dried dark fruits, and hints of nuts.  It is full bodied and has noticeable warmth. Cellar age a few of these and your future self will thank you!
Pair with: Intense meat dishes, aged cheeses, and non-chocolate desserts. A perfect after dinner or end of the evening drink.
