  • Week of 10/19/15 - Selkirk Abbey Guilt Belgian Coffee Porter

    selkirk guilt bottleDespite its name, we promise you'll have no regrets after trying Selkirk Abbey's Guilt Belgian Coffee Porter

    About the Brewery
    Earlier this year, the folks at Thrillist 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."

    About the Beer
    For starters, this tasty treat (and winner of Selkirk's 2013 Home Brew Contest) is brewed with fresh beans from Selkirk's neighbor, DOMA Coffee Roasting Company. Dark mahogany brown, medium bodied with nice creaminess & great roast at the end. The coffee in this brew is both subtle and evident - its smooth with hints of spice & mocha, but the coffee is not overdone. 

    ABV: 8.3%
    IBU: 45
    Special Ingredients: DOMA coffee

  • Week of 8/24/15 - Selkirk Abbey Infidel Belgian IPA

    selkirk infidel bottleThis 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:

    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?
