STRONG ALES WITH STRONG TRADITIONS
CORE BIERS
CAPITULATION
What do you do when beer fans say “I love hoppy beers?” If you’re any other brewery you might brew 6 different IPA’s for them to choose from, but if you’re Monkless, you capitulate, and dry hop your classic Belgian Tripel. We took one of our favorite beers, The Trinity, and dry hopped it with Citra and Hallertau Blanc to add a blast of flowery, citrusy aroma and flavor to our classic Tripel.

PEPPERCORN IMPERIAL WIT
It’s time to re-think your Wit! At 8.2% PIW is the big brother to our classic Belgian Witbier, Shepplekofeggan. Peppercorn Imperial Wit is headlined by the addition of our four-peppercorn blend, fresh orange zest and coriander. The result is a big, yet light bodied Witbier brimming with robust bright citrus and pear aromas with a clean and dry, peppery finish.

Hazy Day in Brussels
Inspired by the Grand Place in the city of Brussels and its hazy days (with a nod to the New England Haze Craze), this ale is brimming with a juicy, tropical and citrusy hop profile while delivering flavors of a classic Belgian Tripel. The blend of Belgian Pilsen malt, a fair amount of wheat and oats, and our classic Witbier yeast provide the base for this beauty, but the double dry hop with Citra, El Dorado, and Mandarina Bavaria takes it over the top!

THE FNG
When the F’n New Guy makes a mistake that turns into a happy accident, we name the beer after him. The FNG is a unique Belgian Abbey Ale that bridges the stylistic gap between a Dubbel and a Tripel. Dark Candi Syrup and abbey yeast work together harmoniously to deliver a delicious balance of toffee and caramel, with mild spice notes of clove and pepper in a dry, clean finish.

Our refreshing Witbier is brewed with fresh orange zest and coriander. Packed full of fresh citrus flavor and balanced spice, “Shepp” begs to be enjoyed with friends, and is proof that not all Belgian-style beers have to be big in alcohol -- Only big in flavor.

REVERIE PILS
In Belgium, Pilsner beer is revered. It’s common for a local to simply raise a pinky finger to the barkeep, signaling their desire for a refreshing Pils. Belgian tradition demanded we dream one up for you! This beer is gold and bright as the sun, with a dense white cloud of foam, floating above. The light body of this beer, imagined with a delicate malt sweetness, will take you away. Float further to a bold and zesty noble hop finish that leaves you as quickly as it appeared. Raise a pinky finger if you like, and lift your head into the clouds, onward Reverie.

Those familiar with Monkless know brewing small beers isn’t the norm. The anomaly you hold in your hand is clean, sessionable and easy to share. Inspired by the Trappist tradition of the Belgian Single, Brother’s is a SMaSH beer brewed from Pilsen malt and Sterling hops, and fermented to a nice dry finish with our traditional Trappist yeast strain. A late addition of Sterling adds a bit of spicy, citrusy hop aroma and flavor to the quintessential fruity-spicy character of a classic Belgian Single.

CURTAIN CLOSER
Releases in February
Kissed by a hint of raspberries & warmed by the embrace of cacao, Curtain Closer is a decadent experiment by the mad scientist of Monkless. We used Belgian Candi Syrup to kindle a higher ABV for our abbey yeast to dance with, resulting in a big Belgian-style ale smooth enough to make your senses tremble. A Quintuple is less of a beer style, and more of a lifestyle anyways…Go ahead, close the curtains and indulge yourself.

An unholy marriage between a Belgian-Style Witbier and a Cascadian Dark Ale. Midnight wheat and Special B honor this ceremony with delicate chocolate and roasty notes. Citrus flavors mingle respectfully by way of coriander and orange peel, tangerines added during fermentation and from an aromatic bouquet of Pacific Jade, Citra and Idaho 7 hops. Though this matrimony is certainly Unorthodox, it’s intended to be a religious experience.
