Brewery Showcase: Rodenbach

Overview

How often can you say that you'll be drinking Belgian, barrel-aged, sour beers made in the Flemish red style? We're talking about Rodenbach's beverages, concocted with special malt, aged for over a year, and flavoured with fruit, for those not in the know — and you can't say you'll be drinking them very often.

That changes this Friday, thanks to the folks at Brewski — well, it changes for one night only. The Petrie Terrace craft beer bar is turning over their taps to the kind of beverages you won't just find in your local bottle-o, and you might never have had the opportunity to try otherwise.

Expect three of Rodenbach's essential brews, including the delectable Rosso that tastes like sour cherries, raspberries and cranberries. As an extra treat, the famed unfiltered, unpasteurised and unblended Foederbier will also be available for the first time in Australia. And those after the best of the best better grab a glass of the bottle-only, super fruity Caractère Rouge, voted Europe's Best Fruit Flavoured Beer in 2013.
