Latis Imports announced some Rodenbach news this week.

—

This brand never needs an introduction with knowledgeable and discerning beer connoisseurs.

Year in, year out Rodenbach is growing at over 50%. What we find so exciting is that a broader group of consumers are developing a taste for this unique style of beer. They too are learning that Rodenbach is the preeminent Sour because replicating its process, historic facility, 150 year old French Oak Foders, East Flanders air and water is simply impossible.

This year adding to the legends of Rodenbach Classic and Grand Cru will be the limited release of the Fourth Vintage (2011) and an extremely precious amount of Caractère Rouge – a Vintage batch macerated for an additional six months with fresh cherries, raspberries and cranberries creating a highly complex fruity nose combined with woody notes and caramel.

In other Rodenbach news…no this is not chocolate, but a 12 sampler pack with 3 bottles of each PALM, Estaminet, Rodenbach Classic and Steenbrugge Tripel. Perfectly timed for the holidays, this beautifully packaged box makes for a great gift or sample package for holiday gatherings.
