Description
La Brasserie Artisanale BENELUX a été fondé en 2006, sur la rue Sherbrooke près de ce qui allait devenir le Quartier des Spectacles à Montréal.
Une deuxième succursale Brasserie Artisanale BENELUX a ensuite ouvert sur la rue Wellington à Verdun en 2013, devenant le premier bar et brasserie de cet arrondissement en 140 ans.
Un autre petit site de production a ouvert peu après dans Pointe-St-Charles (3810 rue St-Patrick, dans les anciens locaux de Brasseurs Sans Gluten) sous le nom de "Brasserie du Canal" et servait à complémer l'offre des deux succursales ainsi que de produire quelques produits embouteillés pour la vente extérieure.
La Brasserie du Canal a depuis été déménagée dans leur nouvelle Microbrasserie BENELUX à Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu (anciens locaux de Lagabière) où l'encannettage de leurs produits est effectuée depuis sous le nom BENELUX - Bières & Pubs.

Cloudy blond color, generous head. Very nice funky character, smooth and highly carbonated, a bit vinous (white wine), and very moderate sourness. Very nice.

650mL bottle, pours a cloudy opaque golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma is very complex, with lovely brett notes upfront, followed by oak and white wine barrels. Flavour is very complex and well-balanced, with a lovely bretty funk upfront, followed by subtle oak and white wine, and only a subtle tartness. Excellently blended, with a great use of brett and oak. Really nice.
