Door County Brewing Co. to Release L’hiver Dec. 1

Door County Brewing Company announced the Dec. 1 release of their Winter Farmhouse Ale aptly called L’hiver, French for “the winter.” L’hiver is inspired by the traditional Belgian Strong Dark Ales and is described as dark brown, dry, with notes of dark fruit and a slight hint of citrus. L’hiver comes in at a hearty 8 percent ABV. Head Brewer Danny McMahon chose this style to be the perfect “warming” beer to get you through the cold Midwestern winters. L’hiver is the second of four seasonal Farmhouse Ales from Door County Brewing Co. released every three months in very limited quantities throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota. “We are excited to be able to brew this series of Farmhouse Ales that pay homage to Door County’s rich Belgian history and tradition,” says founder, John McMahon. “Danny is focused on making sure each release resonates with a seasonal sensation and the familiar flavors of our Belgian roots.”
