Belgian Beer no.31: Saint Idesbald, the mystery
Sometimes it is almost close to impossible to locate the beers I am looking for. Brewers, producers are all mixed, so that you start with a name, then realize the beer is actually known under a different name, then you come across an abbey which leads you to another producer and … finally you get to find the beer.I embarked on this virtual journey for the Saint Idesbald Brune. As it was served in the L’Ultime Atome without me actually seeing the bottle – I had to spent some time locating it.
The beer is brewed by the Abbey of Saint Idesbald, but if this abbey actually exists or not … no idea! I know the beer figures now among the beers of Delirium. Besides the ones we tried, the Brune (8%), there is also the Blonde (6.2%), and the Triple (9%).
I am planning for a while now to visit the Delirium brewery as they have one of my all time favorite beers, the Floris Miel, so I might come back on these beers once I know more.
No recipe.
Drink It!

I have just been reading about our Belgian beers. This could be a daunting task and I am glad you decided to tackle it. I am more of a drinker than a writer. That in mind, your complete sentences are clear indication that you take your duty seriously and in moderation. I raise my stein to you.
