Don't miss out as there are only 40 cases of this rare beer available in BC.
Straffe Hendrik Wild (sku 872333) has just arrived (June 13 2014) and needs to clear customs before it is available in the distribution channel. Keep your eyes out for it because
Once it's gone....it's gone.
The original Straffe Hendrik Tripel has been re-fermented using wild Brettanomyces yeast. It is then cellared at Brouwerij de Halve Maan for 3 months before being released. The wild yeasts dramatically increase the already long shelf life of the beer and continue to develop its flavours for years.
Definitely a beer to cellar so you're able to enjoy the ever-evolving flavours for years to come.
