Dunns Food and Drinks have landed an exclusive agreement to bring two sours beers, Rodenbach Grand Cru and Rodenbach Caractère Rouge to Scotland, for the very first time.
Niall Deveney, Marketing Executive at Dunns Food and Drinks, comments, “Craft beer is moving so fast that you can’t afford to stick with what you have or you will get left behind. These sour beers provide more of a boundary shove, than a push on the definition of what beer should be.”
Rodenbach Caractère Rouge has an ABV of 7% and holds a perfect 100 score on ratebeer.com.
Developed in 2011 in collaboration with the top chef Viki Geunes (2 Michelin stars), this exclusive beer has been created by adding an extra six months’ fermenting maceration with cherries, raspberries and cranberries to beer that has already undergone two years’ maturation in oak casks. Rodenbach Grand Cru with an ABV of 6%, is known as the “Flemish Red-Brown beer”. It is a mixed fermentation beer matured in oak vats, giving a sweet-sour taste and intense bouquet with a very long aftertaste (much like a Grand Cru wine).
