Brasserie CANTILLON – Brasserie De La Senne:

Cantillon / De La Senne – Biere de Coupage 24/330ml BOT – Created for the 25th birthday of Cantillon’s Quintessence. This beer uses an ancient and typically Belgian technique called ‘Coupage’: the blend of a sour beer with a young ale. The sour beer used is 2-year-old Lambic from Cantillon. The result is a 6.2% abv amber beer, with an appealing tartness and a deep, complex vinous character. 6.2% ABV – BE

De La Senne Taras Boulba 24/330ml BOT – A world-class hoppy pale ale from one of Belgium’s best craft breweries. Noble Hop Bomb. A thirst-quencher, light and refreshing, but with a well-affirmed character. Blond and slightly hazy, it develops fragrances of noble hops in dry hopping, which give it herbal, floral, and light citrus notes. It has a powerful bitterness and a dry finale. Its profile is completed by malty notes of fresh cereals, as well as by fruity/spicy fermentation flavors. 4.5% ABV – BE

De La Senne Jambe-de-Bois 24/330ml – Brilliant hop-forward triple. Very balanced, and treacherous: the alcohol is never aggressive, which makes it dangerously easy to drink. 8% ABV – BE

De La Senne Coucou Puissant 24/330ml BOT – An exhilarating and full-bodied Dry-Hopped Quad. It’s deep amber in color with a creamy head and aromas of stone fruits, persimmon, flowers and spice. Generous dry-hopping with German hops adds a beautiful long bitterness to the malty flavor, bringing balance to the palate. 9.5% ABV – BE

De La Senne Stouterik 24/330ml BOT – Belgian Stout in the Irish style. Light, dry, and freshly bitter with complex roasted notes. The scent is pleasantly fragranced by the presence of an English aromatic hop particularly appreciated by connoisseurs. 5% ABV – BE

Anchorage Brewing A Deal with the Devil Barleywine 12/750ml – 

A Deal with the Devil

Faustian pleasure has consequence, of this you must know

When you go down to the crossroads, expect more than a show

Robert Johnson paid dearly, for talent and fame

His deal with the devil, left only his name

Eternal damnation, no chance for retreat

Save only Mr. Daniels’, stunning cunning fiddle feat

This devil is in the details, diabotical pacts abound

Worldly riches and pleasures, but consequences come ’round

‘Twix barley and beer, there is liquid sublime’

But this devil is in the details, with consequence in time

Thirty-seven plato, a matter of some gravity

A Galaxy of hops, only adds to depravity

Eight months in wood, of Cognac in barrel

Mephistopheles you’re not, and the devil your peril

A Deal with the Devil is a barleywine style ale brewed with galaxy hops. A starting gravity of 37 plato. Aged eleven months in Cognac barrels. The devil is in the details… Enjoy! 17.30% ABV – AK

Cantillon Classic Gueuze 6/750ml –
Blend of lambics produced during different years.
Beer with a slightly acidic and fruity taste, delicate and woody fragrance and a dry finish that lingers on the palate.
Beer with taste evolution that will keep for a long time in a good cellar.
Grand Cru Bruocsella 1900 6/750ml –
Vintage lambic. All the beers are from the same brewing season and mature in barrels for three years.
Beer with a highly complex structure that has a wine-like and somewhat oxidised taste, the slightly acidic structures mingling with more mellow aspects.
Powerful yet elegant, Bruocsella can be considered the missing link between the worlds of wine and beer. Since there is no secondary fermentation in the bottle Bruocsella is a flat, non-sparkling beer.
Saint Lamvinus 6/750ml – 

Blend of lambics aged on average 16 to 18 months and of Merlot grapes.
The year’s blend, bottled November 2022, was exceptionally made with Merlot (55%), Grenache Noir (35%), and Syrah (10%).
Lambic can be rightly considered the missing link between the worlds of wine and beer, and Saint Lamvinus takes this one step further by adding grapes normally intended for wine production.
Intense, fruity beer that lingers on the palate and has a clear connection to its winemaking origins.
Sang Bleu 6/750ml –

Lambic blend with blue honeysuckle, or haskap, berries.
For the past two years, we’ve been making a fruited blend with Camerise berries in small quantities. These berries are slightly sweet with a beautiful acidity.
We didn’t have to look very far for its new name… a blue fruit that makes a blood-red beer: Sang Bleu. Our friend Ammo has outdone himself once again, creating a superb new label to go with its new name.
