The same base beer was used in all 4 of Bruery Terreux's Elements of Funk series, each fermented with a different strain of brett- Bruxellensis, Claussenii, Drei, and Lambicus.

The Beerists 222 - Cruel Summer 30.05.2016

So it's not technically summer yet, but tell that to blistering hot Austin, Texas.

The Beerists 216 - Hard To Get 18.04.2016

Occasionally, a beer will be so lustworthy, it transforms into legend. Like Ahab's white whale, they taunt us with their unattainability and mystery.
