Blonde Beer from CLAIRMARAIS Abbey with HOULLE Juniper, 75 cl

Description

Clairmarais Abbey Beer with Houlle Juniper: a craft speciality from the Hauts-de-France region

Clairmarais Abbey Beer with Houlle Juniper is an original creation that celebrates the culinary heritage of the Hauts-de-France region. Brewed in Clairmarais, in the heart of the Audomarois region, it combines the expertise of an artisan brewery with that of the Houlle Distillery, renowned for its genièvre since 1812. This collaboration between two regional producers has given rise to a beer full of character, designed for lovers of local specialities and new taste experiences.

This Belgian Pale Ale-style lager has an alcohol content of 7 per cent. Its unique feature lies in the use of Genièvre de Houlle Long Drink, which lends a distinctive character to the recipe. Genièvre is a traditional spirit from northern France, historically associated with juniper berries and a range of herbal aromas. Its combination with beer creates an original fusion between the world of brewing and the tradition of distillation.

The Clairmarais Abbey Brewery is itself part of a unique heritage story. Housed in the buildings of the abbey’s former farm, it is helping to revive a local brewing tradition after a hiatus of more than two centuries. The project highlights the links between history, artisanal production and the local area.

Available in 75 cl bottles, this juniper-infused beer is equally suited to a tasting session amongst connoisseurs or a convivial meal. It pairs well with regional specialities, cold meats, slow-cooked dishes or mature cheeses. Serve it chilled, in moderation, to allow its full character to shine through.

Clairmarais Abbey Beer with Houlle Juniper is therefore a wonderful discovery for anyone wishing to explore the craft beers of the North through an original recipe deeply rooted in its local terroir.
