VICTORIA, BC – Vancouver Island beer blog Beer On The Rock reports that Driftwood Brewery will be releasing a new edition of sour cherry ale Belle Royale next week.
Previously available in April 2010 and June 2011, this new vintage has been aged in barrels for 18 months, and will once again be quite limited.
In previous releases, the beer was described as follows:
We married our spicy Belgian yeast with a pile of malt and 900 pounds of sour cherries! Pairs well with dessert or as an aperitif. This beer could be laid down, but don’t deny yourself the pleasure of enjoying the intense fruit and spice flavors fresh!
Driftwood Belle Royale will be available next week in 650 ml bottles at the Driftwood retail store and select private liquor stores in British Columbia.
