Story & Heritage

ABOUT THIS BEER

The second saison from the Blaugies family brewery, brewed with spelt (épeautre), an ancient wheat-like grain once widespread in Wallonia before modern cereals displaced it. Lighter and paler than La Moneuse, it shows that the farmhouse tradition was as much about using what the land gave as about any fixed recipe.

On the Saison style, Farmhouse ale traditionally brewed for harvest workers. Highly carbonated, fruity, spicy, and bone-dry. Often rustic and thirst-quenching.

THE MONK'S NOTE

Pour it into a tulip, served around 8-12°C, and let its aromatics open before the first sip. Enjoy it fresh and lively; there is little to gain from waiting.
