Multinational brewery chain BrewDog has teamed up with De Koningshoeven Brewery, the venerable brewers of legendary La Trappe beers, to launch an innovative hoppy ale that goes beyond the regular flavor profiles associated with high-hop brews by incorporating the distinctive and characteristic taste of dark amber heather honey.
The 'Practise What You Preach' honey ale is built around the popular quadruple style of Trappist beer. However, what sets it apart is that it doesn't use the regular hops that can be found in regular pale ales, but instead uses a new experimental hop called HBC-692, combining it with the unique taste of heather honey.
Add to that the instantly recognizable taste of Belgian yeast and unabashedly boozy overall profile and you have a truly delectable honey ale that will appeal to connoisseurs of beers that combine tradition and innovation.
