Blushing Monk

Fruit Beer

Blushing Monk is brewed with a ridiculous amount of raspberries and with a Belgian yeast strain that keeps our head cellar operator from sleeping for a week. It pours a stunning deep berry red and, at 9.2% ABV, has a surprising kick. The perfect dessert beer, it can be enjoyed on its own or paired with fresh cheeses, fruit, cakes and more.

I don't drink a ton of fruit beers but this one has some body to it.

Even better for tonight's pairing with Aunt Emily's ribs. The ribs have a molasses and vinegar sauce, and the Imperial sour adds the right sweetness.

Aromatic with raspberry right from the start. Not overpoweringly bitter but well balanced and drinkable. Feel is light and crisp.

Very sweet. More of a juice with a little bit of bitterness.

I think this is a 2019 vintage? Drinking a lot better fresh, the aged malts add some caramel sugars into the mix and it dials up the raspberry. I actually really enjoyed this bottle, I'm almost inclined to say this won't age better but we will see...

🍺IT'S NATIONAL BEER DAY🍻 04-07-1933: President F.D. Roosevelt took steps toward ending Prohibition & signed a law allowing brewing/selling beer in the U.S.A below 4.0% alcohol. Beer drinkers were able to purchase beer again for the 1st time in 13 years

Easy refreshing drink. Reminds me fresh Raspberries. Not overly carbonated but smooth drink with a pleasant aftertaste. Best on hot day in shade. Paired nice with a light cigar!
