Description
It was in 1973 that the adventure of the "Au Baron" brewery began. Alain Bailleux then purchased the last bistro in the village there. There he meets Danielle who will become his wife. Together, they embark on small catering. Later, Alain and his father, retired master brewer, challenge each other; create a craft brewery. This will be done on June 8, 1989 when Gussignies inaugurated the village brewery with Saint-Médard, a beer inspired by the farm-breweries of yesteryear. For a few years now, Florence and Xavier have taken over the reins of the family business and continue to make the Baron prosper by adding a local store where you can buy beers and products from local producers.

On tap @Grand Delancy. Just realized I had the OG version a week later at Beer Culture for way too much money. Hazy, pale gold, frothy pour. Wax, smoke, fennel, plastic nose. Waxy, super herbal, marigold. Mostly dry, very crispy, very astringent, decent acid, just too earthy & floral. Prefer the French OG.

Hazy, frothy, pale honey gold pour @Beer Culture. Faintly yeasty, old wood, slight acid, mellow sweetness, restrained nose. Earthy, acidic, faint pale sweetness, herbal bitter backdrop. Crispy, a little meat, just sweet enough, great acid. Pretty good, though at a simply terrible price per pour.

On tap at Garden Path - Bellingham, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out some residual sugars, farmhouse yeast, and old oaky notes. Flavour is semi-sweet, with old oak, some residual sugars, and farmhouse yeast. A bit too sweet and lacking integration, but it's a fine beer.

A little lime and lots of hazy. Soft and suave. Golden pour with decent head, ok lacing. Soft bitter finish. Nice stuff to be sure. True to the game like Grand Puba. Tap at Ma Che.
