A Note on This Beer

Hey all you collectors, Belgian-style lovers, and one-of-a-kind sip seekers! Our favorite Florida-based, fiercely authentic, Belgian-style brewery is back with their annual Grand Cru! 

Barrel of Monks has three rules for this small-batch sipper: 

  1. A unique recipe. They haven’t made it before, and they won’t make it again. Last year, they brewed an Imperial Red Ale, and the year before that, a Belgian Style Golden Ale. And, THIS year’s Grand Cru 2020 is an Imperial Saison that sips down so smooth, you’ll think they misprinted the 10.5% ABV on the bottle!  
  2. Rich in flavor. Barrel of Monks packs Grand Cru 2020 with a blend of German Malts for fresh-baked bread aromas and a thick mouthfeel. Magnum and Citra Hops combined with Belgian yeast make each sip dance with coriander and nutmeg spices and delightful hints of Bananas Foster and vanilla beans. 
  3. No adjuncts, flavorings, or additives of any kind! Barrel of Monks embraces the natural, full-bodied flavors of Belgian-style beer. In today’s Saison, less is so much more!


Grand Cru 2020 has a lot of character now, but is destined to develop even more with age. So, whether you’re looking for an authentically flavorful Saison to spice up your quarantine, or a rarity to add to your collection, we have you covered! 

Grab a bottle (or two) before they run out!

This is imperial saison ale is clocking in at 10.5% aaaaand is a special craft that barrel of monks never produces twice! Look at that head POUR! It's merengue-like decadence! This one is rich and malty, herbal and bready! Mineral and earthy... medium bodied... aromatics of fresh pasta with a citrus spritz! Crisp but silky. Every year, the grand cru from barrel of monks is a different brew; but the 2020 saison is a masters course in craft excellence! 🍻😁👍👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫
