Here’s a second post about some new Vanberg and Dewulf imports hitting the U.S. this year.

You may have seen this morning’s post about Brasserie Dupont. Here are a few more brews coming soon:

LAMBICKX

Lambics are truly the “wines” of the beer world. With wine one speaks of “gout de Terroir” because the land so influences a wine’s flavor. With Lambics, one must speak of “gout de Tonneau” because each cask (tonneau) produces a lambic that matures and tastes different. Blending these Tonneau is such an art that there exist independent Geuzestekkerij (blenders) who buy young Lambic then age and bottle it under theirown name.

Lambickx™ is Vanberg & Famille’s brand of hand-selected and blended lambics. Every Lambic with the Lambickx™ name is made from casks personally tasted and chosen by Don Feinberg, one of the first importers of Belgian beer to America and founder of the first Belgian-only brewery in the U.S. Don chooses his Lambics for their complexity, brilliance and drinking excellence both by themselves and as exquisite accompaniments to food.

FORMATS: Case, 6 x 75 cl (25.4 fl oz) / Keg, 20 liter

SCALDIS CUVÉE DES TROLLS by BRASSERIE DUBUISSON

Cuvée des Trolls was introduced in Belgium in 2000 and to the U.S. in 2010. Trolls is Dubuisson’s fastest growing beer. For Dubuisson it weighs in at a relatively modest 7% alcohol by volume. Made with all blond malts and a touch of orange peel, Trolls is hazy blond, with a lovely, doughy, fresh malt aroma. It’s has a light but distinctly malty body with bright orange notes. It finishes clean with a nice hop bite typical of this brewery’s distinctive beers. A quaffable delight! It is has been very popular and, dare we say helpful, with customers seeking a true Belgian beer experience but prefer a less alcoholic and aggressively aromatic profile.

FORMATS: Case, 6 x 75 cl (25.4 fl oz) / Keg, 20 liter
