Bois

The-Bruery-Bois-Bourbon-Barrel-Aged-Ale
Here is a peak at the pretty label for the latest anniversary beer from The Bruery.   “Bois” is French for “Wood.”  Each year the names of the anniversary ales correspond with traditional wedding anniversary gifts as translated in the French language.  Though I don’t recall getting anything wooden on my fifth.

These are big blended beers that utilize the Solera method where each beer is partially comprised of a blend of past anniversary beers.  So you will taste Fruet and Coton and Papier in Bois.

Fruet


Year by Year I learn a little more Belgian/French thanks to The Bruery and their anniversary beers.

So far I have Papier, Coton and Cuir and now add Fruet! I am looking forward to trying many different versions of this beer because you know that the Bruery can’t just make one version.

If you are in the L.A. area you have many choices for the anniversary party. You can go classy at 38 Degrees for their fancy flight night. (They always do well with their flights) or you can head to Beer Belly like I will to try the latest and mispronounce the name.
