The usually peaceful St. Vrain River snakes out of the Rocky Mountains, winding mischievously towards our brewery. Named after Ceran St. Vrain, an 1800’s trapper and trader in the valley, St. Vrain is our version of a classic Belgian Tripel. Light in color and lightly hopped using Celeia hops, a touch of malt sweetness contrasts the warm spiciness hidden within. What at first appears benevolent can manifest into a mighty serpent in waiting.

Hazy blond color, thin creamy head. Light aroma, typical of a Belgian Ale. Smooth mouthfeel, some sweet malt, a special character given by the yeast (like dryness and astringency), a bit spicy. Not too bad.

Hazy blond color. A Tripel brewed to style, with a delicate aroma including coriander and light citrus, medium body strength, some sweetness, spicy and malty dry taste.

Bottled (9.6%). Hazy pale orange colour, small white head. Aroma is honey, hops, some wheat and fruity. Flavour is fruity, honeyish and hoppy. A trippel indeed, but feels quite empty somehow. Hides it’s alcohol quite well.
