Copper Point Brewing and Barrel of Monks Brewing collaborate on Fleur de Blonde

Two of South Florida’s most Belgian-inspired breweries are releasing their ode to Brussels breezes on July 20th.  The beer is called Fleur de Blonde and bottles will be available in both tasting rooms.

From Barrel of Monks Brewing:

A beer as easy as a summer breeze in Brussels…
Our first ever collab with our friends at Copperpoint Brewing Co. will transport you to old world alleys and ancient streets, where beer traditions are as old as the cobblestones. Fleur de Blonde is a 7% Belgian-style Blonde Ale that stems from tradition and pours with nuance. The European malt is combined with new world hop varieties Hüll Melon, Hallertau Blanc, and Mandarina Bavaria, and fermented with a classic Belgian yeast strain to produce a balance between light sweetness, low pleasant hop bitterness, a fruity hop aroma, and a clean finish.

The recipe for Fleur de Blonde was created by our brewmasters Bill McFee and Matt Cox out of a common love for the style and a long term respect for each other. It will be available on draft at both breweries and in bottles for $13.99 at the Barrel of Monks tasting room.

The Story:
Brewmasters Bill and Matt became friends many years back when Matt was already working as a professional brewer and both were formulating plans to start their own independent breweries. As Copperpoint and Barrel of Monks became reality and evolved into local Palm Beach County favorites, they have maintained this friendship and have finally worked together to create this delicious brew.

Barrel of Monks Brewing releases Single in Havana

Boca Raton’s Barrel of Monks Brewing released Single in Havana on Saturday, June 1st.

From Barrel of Monks Brewing Newsletter:

It’s hot out there, so we’re releasing the perfect complement to a toasty summer’s day. Single in Havana is our crisp, guava-infused ale. When brewing this fruity fan favorite, we struck a balance between Belgian beer-making tradition and tropical South Florida lifestyle.

We started with our singel brew, and added sweet and tangy guava during the fermentation process to infuse the ale with a fruity zing. The result is a light and balanced beer featuring delicate malt flavors with hints of yeast and guava fruit on the back end.

The singel is also known as “Patersbier,” and is the beer of choice for Belgian monk brewers because of its refreshing qualities and drinkability. Single in Havana will be available on Saturday, June 1st on tap and in 4-packs for $9.99.

Single in Havana will be available on tap and in 4-packs in the tasting room and at local retailers starting Saturday, June 1st.
About Barrel of Monks Brewing
Barrel of Monks Brewing is a Belgian-inspired craft brewery in Boca Raton, FL. Barrel of Monks Brewing is the first production brewery in the city, and the first brewery in the state to focus 100% on Traditional Belgian Inspired Ales.

The idea for the brewery was born several years ago when a group of Belgian-beer loving friends 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.

Barrel of Monks Brewing’s Belgian-inspired ales have won numerous awards, including awards from the Best Florida Beer Competition for their Belgian-inspired ales.
