Continuing on their path of flavor exploration, Boca Raton’s Barrel of Monks Brewing Company is releasing details of their 2023 Grand Cru Bottling and Release.
From Barrel of Monks Brewing:
Our Grand Cru is a special beer with a brand new recipe every year. The goal is to use quality ingredients with no added flavorings or adjuncts to show the depth of flavor, creativity and complexity that can be achieved with the basic elements of beer. This year’s Grand Cru is a Belgian inspired Scotch Ale, a rich dark beer overloaded with big malt flavors.
Indulge your palate with layers of toffee, dark fruit, caramel, and molasses meticulously crafted from quality ingredients. The careful caramelization of sugars during the two and a half hour boil adds a toasty warmth and sweetness. With the perfect blend of our favorite Belgian yeast strain and extended maturation, the flavors harmonize to create a masterpiece that is remarkably flavorful and surprisingly easy to drink.
Pair this 9% ABV gem expertly with hearty meats like lamb or indulge in decadent desserts such as crème brûlée for an unforgettable dining experience. Join us in raising a glass to Grand Cru 2023 and celebrate the artistry of beer. This limited-edition brew is a one-of-a-kind creation, so don’t miss your chance to savor every sip.

About Barrel of Monks Brewing
Barrel of Monks was founded by good friends who came together to create something that has seldom been done in the United States…a brewery making exclusively Belgian-style beer. The focus is on quality – combining traditional techniques with modern technology.
Several years ago, they started traveling to Belgium to see how their favorite beers were brewed. Along the way, they learned about themselves as well as the beer. The three friends started brewing themselves and never looked back, honing their brewing skills to develop high-quality ales reminiscent of the fine ales coming out of Belgium.
