French for "Two Friends," Deux Amis brings together two esteemed brewers who have long admired each other's work—Olivier Dedeycker, fourth generation Master Brewer at Brasserie Dupont and Tomme Arthur, acclaimed Brew Master of Lost Abbey. Brewed in Belgium using Dupont's 172-year-old brewing equipment, techniques, and its revered yeast strain, this collaboration marries the two brewer's Saison styles and adds American Amarillo and Simcoe hops. The result of this kinship is a dry, refreshing Old World Saison full of peppery spice that finishes with New World flavors of floral orange and earthy pine.

Bottle at FoFa where they weren’t getting much love so the dude was working the lines. Gold, soft bodied and a huge wheat dust aroma complemented with a hop bouquet. Ultra soft body, peppery and spice. Very unique.

Retrouve une influence dominante belge Hennuyère don’t l’ajout d’houblons américains apporte son lot de fruité.
