Beau’s signs Gigantic Brewing to B-Side, brews American-Belgo IPA
Vankleek Hill, ON – Beau’s All Natural Brewing’s B-Side Label spinoff today announced it has signed on Portland, OR’s Gigantic Brewing Co. to create its second B-Side beer – La Formidable American-Belgo IPA.
Steve Beauchesne, Matthew O’Hara: Beau’s. Van Havig and Ben Love: Gigantic
Brewed by Gigantic Brewing, La Formidable is a 6.9% American-Belgo IPA; a relatively new hybrid beer style that crosses bold, citrusy American-style hop aromas with the signature fruity, spicy and earthy elements of Belgian yeast. The hazy golden ale exudes appetizing aromas of grapefruit and orange, along with light piney notes and white pepper. The flavour offers a firm but balanced bitterness that is complemented by citrus fruitiness. The finish is spicy with earthy undertones, according to Beau’s.
B-Side launched originally in 2013 with its Kissmeyer Nordic Pale Ale.
Gigantic Brewing is in Ontario this week to celebrate the release of La Formidable at several launch events across the province: in Toronto on Thurs. Feb. 26 with a “Meet the Brewers” event at Bar Volo from 4-7 pm; at The Black Tomato in Ottawa Fri. Feb. 27 for a “Meet the Brewers” event from 7-9 pm; and at the Beau’s Brewery in Vankleek Hill to greet visitors on Saturday Feb. 28 from 1-4 pm.
La Formidable launches officially on Thursday, February 26, 2015 at 150 bars and restaurants in 37 towns and cities across Ontario,
