Extra Special Beers Have Arrived
So Few Cases Available

SKU 420216:  We just got extremely lucky! We were able to get 20 cases of Scaldis Prestige, an amazing honey coloured ale that is matured in oak barrels for at least six months. This beer consistently rates 99 or 100 on RateBeer.com

During bottling, a small quantity of sugar and yeast is added to the beer which is then placed in a hot room. This causes refermentation in the bottle that gives it a natural cloudiness and a particularly high alcohol content of +11%."   This is an amazing beer to cellar - if you can keep any that long!

Because of the rarity and popularity of this beer, it is very, very difficult to get.

This is the first time Bravo Beer has been able to purchase any in many years and we only were able to get 20 cases. Order yours now because we don't know when we'll be able to get any more.

SKU 34609:  Buffalo Belgian Bitter is a strong pale ale with both smokey and fruity flavours. An excellent beer to pair with many types of food and cheeses. A definite must try.

Go Wild!
Straffe Hendrik Wild 2017 and Taster Packs

Straffe Hendrik Wild is a “wild” version of
the famous Straffe Hendrik Tripel. The traditional
triple beer is re-fermented with a wild
“Brettanomyces” yeast, that creates unusual
fruity aromas in harmony with the rich use of
aromatic hop varieties.

The wild yeasts also provide a longer natural
shelf life to the beer and taste developing over
the years. The beer needs a longer maturing
period in the bottle before it can be released
and therefore fi rst matures in the bottle for
3 months in the cellars of the brewery. The re-fermentation
with wild yeast is only finished after
3 months and the young beer is palatable.
The beer will continue developing in the subsequent
years. The bitter hop aromas will become
softer, whereas the wild Brettanomyces
yeasts will continue working and creating hints
of fruit, flowers and wine.

Straffe Hendrik Wild is only bottled once a
year, and after maturing for 3 months in the
bottle, it is released in April. The beer combines
the rich tradition of this Bruges triple beer
with the innovating work with wild Brettanomyces.
The result is a unique beer appreciated by
beer lovers worldwide.
