La Moneuse (ABV 8.0%) from
Brasserie de Blaugies is named for A.J. Moneuse (b. 1768), a famous local bandit, and ancestor of the brewers’ family. Hazy yellow-orange with a large, off-white head. It is a classic “saison” beer by virtue of its strength and its earthy, aged quality. It has a hardy, semi-dry malt character – fresh, but not overpowering hoppiness, abundant yeasty, fruity flavors and a fairly strong, but pleasant and enticing, mustiness. Ratebeer.com rating: 96 (out of 100!) 12.7 oz (corked) bottle.

Brewery Information:

Brasserie de Blaugies was founded in 1987 by married schoolteachers Marie-Noëlle Pourtois and Pierre-Alex Carlier, who are adventurous in recreating traditional farmhouse beer styles. Their tiny brewery is built into the garage of a comfortable farmhouse, and is operated by Pourtois, Carlier, and their two sons. Their output is small, but so well-crafted that it’s highly regarded among connoisseurs of fine Belgian Ales.
