A blend of quadrupel ale and Belgian kriek

A Blend of Quadrupel and Belgian Kriek

Rich and complex, this tour de force is a glorious blend of elegant Belgian-style quadruple ale and authentic Belgian kriek, its malty depth and gentle sweetness enhanced by sparkling carbonation and a serendipitous touch of cherry.

Pouring a mysterious chestnut brown, Three Philosophers is the perfect beer for leisurely sipping and quiet contemplation.

The meaning of life? Even if you don’t quite get there, this beer is sure to sweeten the journey.
