This week's feature is from a small brewery making big-style Belgian beers. Try Selkirk Abbey's Infidel Belgian Style IPA!
The folks at Thrillist just set out to find the best craft brewery in every state...and in Idaho, they found Selkirk Abbey. Here's why they say they're the best in the state:
"Rural northern Idaho might just be the furthest thing from Belgium, what with all the truck nuts and tin cans, which makes Selkirk Abbey all the more special. This is a place that takes its Belgian influence beyond aesthetics, brewing its wares on open-fire systems of the oldest-school variety. But none of that means a thing if the beers don’t hold up. Thankfully, mainstays like the Chapel Witbier and Deacon Belgian Pale and seasonals including remarkable saisons and Scottish ales take the Belgian influence well beyond imitation and into the realm of greatness."
These folks know how to brew, and it shows in the Infidel Belgian Style IPA. Rejecting traditional brewing dogma, the Infidel challenges the notion of beers fitting neatly into established style guidelines. The assertive, citrus hoppiness of an American IPA unites with the traditional spicy notes of a belgian-style pale ale to create a bold, beautiful, palate-pleasing brew. 8.2% ABV; 84 IBU's. And did we mention a 96 overall rating on ratebeer.com?
