Brewed and bottled by the Great Divide Brewing Co, Denver, CO. Hand carried back from Denver from my trip last month and drunk at home in Katy as an aperitif while preparing dinner and finished as a thirst quencher after dinner while working on the Sofia's project. We took our first road trip in the Maxima today. It was a beautiful day, so we decided to take a drive in the country. We stayed on back country roads and drove to Brenham, where we stopped for an Ice Cream (Blue Bell of course) at the Heavens Sent restaurant. We then drove down to Round Rock to see if it was still there and then back to Katy. A very nice drive, Patri drove all the way while i enjoyed the countryside.

the web site says "Grand Cru is our very special Belgian-style dark ale. Imported malts give it a round malty richness, and the fruity complexity and slightly spicy character come from brewing with a proprietary Belgian yeast strain. Don’t let the name fool you; while it may be a special occasion beer, this medium-bodied, elegant incarnation is anything but snobbish. 11% ABV. Food pairings Roasted chicken with thyme, braised short ribs, oven roasted vegetables, grilled sweet potatoes, roaring 40′s blue cheese, bread pudding."
An excellent beer, I enjoyed this a lot. Nicely balanced with a good flavor and nice body.
