New Belgium Re-works An Old Favorite


New Belgium's classically coveted brew makes its return as the newest member of the Lips of Faith series. This is easily one of my favorite beers, and is very allocated. Here is the description from the website

"La Folie Wood-Aged Biere, is our original wood-conditioned beer, resting in French Oak barrels between one and three years before being hand bottled, numbered and corked for your enjoyment. Brewmaster, Peter Bouckaert, came to us from Rodenbach – home of the fabled sour red. Our La Folie emulates the spontaneous fermentation beers of Peter’s beloved Flanders with sour apple notes, a dry effervescence, and earthy undertones."

This beer is not too be taken lightly. It is intentionally soured, so enter with an open mind. As a result of the beer being added to the Lips of Faith series the beer is no longer in a corked and caged 750ml bottle. It is instead a 22oz bomber like the bottle in the picture.
