Brasserie La Botteresse de Sur-Les-Bois

Available online along with other beers from 12 Percent Imports
Belgian Ales
"The second largest brewery in Jupille. The largest and only other being Inbev. From the French-speaking Wallonian region in Belgium, we bring you the unique creations of hobby brewer Jose Poncin, whose La Botteresse line of beers have us giddy with delight. Monsieur Poncin has a flair for the experimental. And as such, he's a bit more industrious in his occasional use of non-traditional ingredients than are many of the other brewers with whom we work. You'll sometimes find spice. Sometimes lots of it. In October, you may think you're drinking pumpkin. And that's because you are. But make no mistake, the beers we bring you from Jose are no experiments. They are sharp, superbly crafted creations from a master brewer who deserves to be discovered." -- importer
