Mogwaï - Flanbeer - 5.8% - 44cl - Can
Description
Caramel Flan-style Pastry Wheat Ale. There are times in life when, after months of persistent nagging, you eventually give in to your mates’ whims... In this case, we’re talking about the brewing fantasies of Charlotte and Simon, who work at the brilliant L’Ours Mal Léché brewery in Strasbourg. Just like us, you too will fall victim to these creations based on things from the real world. We’re starting gently with Charlotte, who suggested the idea of the Flanbeer, the inspiration for which seems fairly obvious: a beer inspired by Flanby, the famous dessert made with custard and caramel. On paper, we didn’t believe it would work, but JP whipped up a trial batch that was far too convincing not to make the XXL version... So we started with a “Blanche” base into which we threw in some homemade caramel and Bourbon vanilla pods. No lactose; the beer was pasteurised just to preserve the caramel’s natural sweetness (and, incidentally, to avoid ending up with something at 12% ABV...). The simple combination of caramel and vanilla is potent enough to mess with your brain and give the impression you’re drinking a flan.
Mogwaï Beer Company is a young, independent brewery born out of the craft beer movement, which was founded in March 2022 in Mundolsheim, in the Strasbourg region. The first batches were brewed throughout May 2022, whilst the first beers were launched in June 2022 in 44cl aluminium cans and on tap. Our aim is to produce only limited-edition brews so that we can give free rein to our desire to experiment, whether with contemporary beers (Fruit Sour, NEIPA, etc.), themed beers (such as Pizza, Tarte Flambée, sauerkraut) as well as more traditional styles (Lager, Kölsch, Doppelbock, Bitter, etc.). We have no plans for a permanent range in the immediate future because… life’s too short to brew the same thing twice!
