Beer GRAND CRU

SAINT FEUILLIEN BREWERY

ABOUT THE BREWERY…

Since 1873, the Friart family has been brewing various beers, among others, the St-Feuillien. But the history of this beer goes back even further.

In the 7th century, an Irish monk by the name of Feuillien came to the Continent to preach the Gospel. Unfortunately, in 655, while travelling through the charcoal forest, across the territory of what is now the town of Le Roeulx, Feuillien was martyred and beheaded. On the site of his martyrdom, Feuillien’s disciples erected a chapel which, in 1125 became the Abbey of Prémontrés, but later became known as the Abbaye St-Feuillien du Roeulx.

The Abbey prospered until the upheavals of the French Revolution. During these troubled times, it was condemned by the revolutionaries.

For centuries, monks have brewed beer and this tradition has been preserved until this very day.

Fourth generation of brewers for the Friart family but still the same passion and know-how.

ST-FEUILLIEN GRAND CRU

A symphony of aromas and flavors.

Grand Cru is a special beer carefully crafted by Belgium's St Feuillien Brewery.

This extra-blond amber nectar masterpiece undergoes refermentation in the bottle, resulting in a beer endowed with unforgettable character. The secret lies in the unique combination of the most noble hops and the finest aromatic ingredients.

Beer Grand Cru differs from other beers in the range by its absence of spices. Its full, white head is light and frothy, and when poured it creates a subtle lace effect.

The very pale colour of beer Grand Cru lends clarity and brilliance to its body.

Beer Grand Cru's delicate nose is a veritable cascade of hoppy aromas with hints of fruitiness coupled with subtlety and sheer richness.

When savoured, the first sip is light and intriguing. The next impression is one of a slight bitterness full of captivating nuances. When it hits the palate, beer Grand Cru creates a lingering moment of hoppiness, rounded off by an intense yet pleasant bitterness.
