門外不出 (Brewers Reserve)

A revisited centuries-old and supremely drinkable golden treasure, the Belgian Single

[Character]
Inspired by the Trappist classic, this Belgian single is crisp, light on the palette and refreshing; a perfect beer for a midday treat. These beer’s light body with fruity and slightly spicy yeast aromas blend with pine, floral and grassy hop characters for a beautifully balanced beer, perfect for savouring or pairing with food.
[Food Pairing]
Zucchini fritters served with herb salt, seared scallops and citrus fruit-infused salad, shredded chicken breast and celery stir-fried with black pepper.
[Naming]
Unlike its stronger brethren, there is an abbey beer relatively unknown in the wider world. The Belgian "single" has been made for centuries at monasteries but yet has always remained a relative secret, a "Monk's Reserve", as it were, made by the monks, for the monks. Perhaps you can enjoy this "Brewer's Reserve" while picturing a monk centuries ago raising his glass toward his lips once more, taking in the aroma before he says, "maybe we keep this one to ourselves..."
[Brewer's Voice]
Back again in our rediscovery series is our brewers reserve Belgian single. This is a beer for brewers, originally brewed by monks as a low ABV beer to drink throughout the day. In honour of this, we kept this beer light, simple and refreshing. the lower ABV doesn’t weigh you down even after a couple. Consisting of a simplified malt bill of Pilsner with a bit of Torrefied wheat for body, the beer has a light pale color with a touch of haze. Complementing this is a blend of classic Hallertau Mittelfruh paired with domestically grown Cascade hops. As this is a beer for brewers, we spiced it up a little more with some sterling hops, which is an American variant of Saaz that was a standout hops for us from last year’s hop selection. This gives the beer a nice blend of citrus, spice, and herbal flavors and aromas. This flavors pairs perfectly with the fruity and spicy Belgian yeast esters, making and an approachable but satisfying beer.
