SCHLAFLY BELGIAN-STYLE BEERS


BELGIAN GRAND CRU
Fruity, spicy aromas and flavors contribute to the complexity of this golden-colored Belgian ale. Medium body and effervescence contribute to a light, dry impression, despite its strength and sweet, smooth finish. ABV: 9%, OG: 18.3, IBU: 20


BELGIAN TRIPEL
This full-bodied, golden ale is brewed with a Belgian yeast, which gives it a rich, fruity character. This is NOT your typical yellow beer.

BELGIAN WITBIER
This unfiltered wheat ale is brewed with a Belgian yeast and flavored with orange peel and coriander. Made with locally harvested unmalted wheat from Alhambra, Illinois. Very snappy and refreshing. ABV: 5%, OG: 12, IBU: 18


GRAND CRU
Fruity, spicy aromas and flavors contribute to the complexity of this golden-colored Belgian ale. Medium body and effervescence contribute to a light, dry impression, despite its strength and sweet, smooth finish.
