The Brasserie du Pays Flamand was founded in November 2006 by two childhood friends, Olivier Duthoit and Mathieu Lesenne. They have brought a modern and flamboyant approach to making beer, along with a healthy respect for the environment. All ingredients are sourced locally, and spent grains are given to farmers for animal feed. Nothing is out of bounds and the duo are experimenting with ageing, maturing their beers in all types of wine, bourbon, cognac, and whisky barrels. Beers include tripels, barley wines, stouts, IPAs, and a range of sours made with blueberries, peaches, and other fruits. This beer has aromas of flowers and citrus fruits on the nose. Grapefruit and lemon are found on the palate. The finish is powerful and hoppy, with a pleasant lasting bitterness.
