Episode 013 – Arrogant Bastard Ale, La Fin du Monde, Delirium Nocternum
After two weeks of moderate lack of flavor on the show, we return full blast into cascades of taste and all around awesomness!! We start out with the very popular Arrogant Bastard Ale from the fine brewmasters at Stone Brewing Company out in Escondido, California. Then it is on to one of our favorite Belgian Style ales, La Fin Du Monde, a classic Triple Fermented Golden Ale which does not come from Belgium but from Unibroue Brewery in Chambly, Québec. Last but certainly not least is the wonderful Delirium Nocternum, the delightful Belgian Strong Ale from the storied kettles of Brouwerij Huyghe, in Melle, Belgium!
These brews knocked our socks off and we know they will do the same for you! Now go and enjoy these fine speci-mines!
