From Bell's Brewing:COMSTOCK, MI - Bell’s Brewery, Inc. brought home two prestigious medals from this year’s 11th Annual Festival of Wood and Barrel Aged Beer (FoBAB) held in Chicago this past weekend.
Le Bretteur, a specialty beer from Bell’s downtown Kalamazoo brewing team, won a gold medal in the Wild/Brett category.
The category is designated for beers that are driven by Brettanomyces yeast fermentation but are not sour.
The beer was also the judges’ favorite of all gold medal winners across 11 categories and awarded Best of Show.
FoBAB is the largest celebration of wood and barrel aged beer in the U.S. and is highly competitive. Entries are submitted from all over the country.
“Both awards are a tremendous honor and something that we are all very proud of,” said Larry Bell, Bell’s President and Founder.
Le Bretteur is a variation on the blonde biere de garde Le Batteur, part of a trio of beers that make up Bell’s Jazz Series.
The wort was fermented in French Oak Chardonnay barrels.
