Dernière Volonté (Last will)
Blond Abbey-style beer “Bottle conditioned” - 7% alc./vol.
4 x 341 ml ($12.25) / LCBO# 331413
Dernière volonté (French for “Last Will”) is a mix of Belgian and English brewing traditions. Complex flavours of hop flowers and spicy, fruity esters from our belgian yeast are perfectly balanced with the robust flavours and aromas of malt. The finish is commandeered by an assertive aroma from dry-hopping.
Rosée d’Hibiscus Belgian Style Wit Brewed With Hibiscus Flower, 5.9%
4 x 341mL ( $11.75 ) LCBO Item# 288522
Rosée d’Hibiscus is a soft spoken wheat beer. The rose colour comes from the hibiscus flowers added during the brewing process. The aromas and flavour of this tropical flower are very prominent in the beer, giving it a slight acidity and dry finish. It is the perfect thirst quencher on a hot summer day.

About the beers available: http://glutenberg.ca/gluten-free-beers
Founded by Julien Niquet and David Cayer, two friends of long standing passion for entrepreneurship and beer, BSG is the first Canadian microbrewery to specialize in the production of gluten-free beer. The idea to market gluten-free beers walked for many years into the head of Julien Niquet, himself intolerant to gluten. It was not until January 2010, after several months of research, that this idea took shape and became BSG.
Established along the Lachine Canal in Montreal, BSG creates and commercializes premium gluten-free beers that have absolutely nothing to envy the great conventional beer made from barley.
At BSG, we believe that everyone deserve a good beer. For this reason we have made every effort, through the expertise of our brewer Gabriel Charbonneau, to provide people with gluten intolerance and celiac disease beers that will match their expectations!
Howe Sound Lager Now Available For Consignment!
E-mail info@keep6imports.com for orders and pricing.
The Howe Sound lager is a version of the Dortmunder style. It is a pale golden lager, that is balanced between sweet malt and dry hop flavours. The lager has a clean, dry finish with some mild fruitiness delivered by the US version of German Hallertau hops and traditional Polish Lublin.
What is a Dortmunder Lager Style you say? In the mid-19th century, breweries in Dortmund, Germany began brewing a common style of lager that was slightly stronger in alcohol, and that sought a balance between classic German noble hops and the sweetness of pale malts. Where the classic pilsner offered a more pronounced hop aroma and character, the Dortmunder lager offered a firm and even dryness with a slightly alcoholic warmth. The export version of the Dortmunder lager was noticeably higher in alcohol content.
At 5.5% alc./vol. it is stronger than many lagers in the North American market. Compared to mainstream lagers, it is a more full-bodied and less gaseous edition of the lager style.
