Expert Beer Advent Calendar: day nine - Rodenbach Grand Cru
9th Dec 2018
Beer Name: Grand Cru
Brewery: Rodenbach Brewery
Location: Roeselare, Belgium
Style: Red Sour
ABV: 6%
Beer Description:
A blend of 1/3 young beer and 2/3 of beer aged 2 years in large oak vats. The more important proportion of oak matured beer contributes to its fruity taste, complexity and intensity. The finish is worthy of a great wine.
About the Brewery:
"The Rodenbach family established the brewery in 1836 in the West Flemish town of Roeselare. The beer owes it unique quality and masterful character to the oak casks in which it matures. Rodenbach is the archetypical Flemish red-brown ale from West Flanders. Recognised as a regional product, it is probably the most award-winning beer in the world." - Rodenbach Brewery
