Dieu Du Ciel! Draught Availability

Wed, 23 May 2012 08:06:15 -0400

Corne Du Diable (Horn of the Devil)

American India Pale Ale - 6.5% alc./vol.

Corne du diable (French for “Horn of the devil”) is a contemporary interpretation of the classic English India Pale Ale. This new style, born on the west coast of North America, is characterized by stronger and hoppier beers. The result is a red ale expressing caramel flavours coming from the malt, sharp bitterness and powerful hop aromas, thanks to dry hopping

Rosée d’hibiscus (Pinkish Hibiscus)

Belgian Wit With Hibiscus Flower - 5.9% alc./vol.

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 a very agreeable fragrance. It is the perfect thirst quencher on a hot summer day.

The following brands are available all year round on draught (30L kegs) Please contact info@keep6imports.com for more information!

Just in from one of our favorite Quebec micro breweries; Microbrasserie Charlevoix. Continuously hopped for 60 minutes, this gift to hop heads is ripe with fine aromas and distinguished bitterness. Simcoe and Amarillo are renowned for their high concentration in fruity aromatic oils and are paired with Saaz, famous for its spicy yet delicate dryness. This is thus an exclusive batch for lupuline lovers, those who revel in the noble golden hop resins which give this beer such an engaging perfume aroma. Lupulus 2012 is a canticle to Humulus Lupulus, our hoppy beer deity. Amarillo, Simcoe and Saaz are the cultivars used to send this ale to heavenly realms.

Lupulus has recently been awarded with the 9th best Belgian Strong style beer in the world on Ratebeers Best of 2012 and the 3rd best rated beer in Canada. You can also check out the beers ratings on Ratebeer & Beer Advocate.

Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel! Solstice d'Hiver

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 13:57:25 -0500

Now Available at the LCBO: Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel! Solstice d’Hiver Barley Wine in very limited quantities!

LCBO ITEM #270405 - 4 x 341mL / $12.95 / 10.2% / Click Here For Store Inventory

This noble winter beer is brown in colour with flaming red highlights. Its taste is delicately sweet and liquor-like with a hint of burnt caramel coming from the malt and a prolonged boiling time. It is a very bitter beer with aromas of hops and alcohol, and flavours reminiscent of red fruit brought by the English-type yeast we use to ferment it. The aftertaste is accentuated by the wonderful flavour of hops. Solstice d’Hiver is brewed only once a year, and is then aged for 4 to 5 months before being sold. This aging process is necessary to achieve an ideal equilibrium between the sharp bitterness and the other flavours in the beer.

Solstice d’hiver is brewed only once a year, at the end of the summer. It is then aged for a few months in order to attain a perfect balance in taste. Then, it is sold starting mid-December of each year, until stocks last.
