To celebrate its seventh anniversary, Frenchies Bistro & Brewery has released a limited edition Blonde Ale: The Devil. Brewed using Pilsner malts, Bohemian hops and a rare yeast strain, the 8.5% abv ale is described by the brewery as displaying a lively aroma and palate of fresh hops and hints of spices, along with a rounded mouthfeel that presents a lingering and refreshing dry finish.
“We wanted to develop something that reflected our European roots, featured a combination of some of our favourite ingredients from the continent, and paid homage to a classic beer style that has influenced Frenchies’ growth and development over the years,” said Brewery Director Vincent De Soyres.
“In 2023 you may remember we opted for a DDH Tripel coined Trippin Balls, which was inspired by the iconic Delirium Tremens. This year’s brew reflects our love of the Duvel, and achieves all three of the characteristics mentioned above!”
Frenchies The Devil will be officially launched to public tomorrow night at a special birthday edition of the brewery’s regular Frenchies Family Tasting Nights. The event, which is free for members, will also feature Frenchies Cool Kids Troppo Hazy IPA - the latest in a collaborative series with Hopsters Cooperative brewery, along with Frenchies Dry and Frenchies Mid.
Despite the ongoing pressures being faced by Australia’s brewing sector, Frenchies - which also offers contract beverages spanning beers, seltzers, RTDs and non-alc - has reportedly continued growth following the launch of its second site last year.
“Demand for our products, as well as services continues to be high, and this is a result of the flexible and agile operation we’ve solidified, ongoing commitment to quality, and talented production team,” said De Soyres.
Frenchies The Devil Blonde Ale is available now at $38 per 4-pack or $139 per case of 16.
