No Matter How You Divide It Up...

Great Divide Brewing Company: Colette Farmhouse Ale


Specs:
  • Price: $9.89 six-pack
  • ABV: 7.3% +
  • Ingredients: Barley, Wheat, Rice, FOUR strains of yeast
  • Process: Brewed at higher temperatures to give the brew a tangy, crisp taste.
So Great Divide Brewing Company (Brian Dunn's brainchild based in Denver, Colorado) has taken the Belgian-style beer in a new direction- four kinds of yeast (represented by the four pictures on the right) really make this brew complex. Local beer experts have told me Great Divide used four strains of yeast to pay hommage to the 4-slice belgian waffle iron. I think that's horse shit- those waffle irons always sucked, and this beer is great.  And this isn't the only brew they do that's well crafted. Great Divide has a slew of elaborately crafted brews (although the Colette is the best brew for your buck) that might tempt your palette. No homo. http://www.greatdivide.com/#/beer
