Regular readers know I am not really into the Belgian beer styles, but those folks who do partake seem to be very happy that New Belgium Brewing has released their much-loved La Folie sour brown beer.

The Boise Co-Op just got a shipment of the La Folie and is selling the 750 ml bottles of the wood-aged brew for $15.99 each. In a clever bit of marketing synergy, the Co-Op is selling a limited amount New Belgium glasses (like brandy snifters) next to the bottles. Nice.

New Belgium reps say the “La Folie Wood-Aged Biere is our original wood-conditioned beer, resting in French Oak barrels between one and three years before being hand bottled, numbered and corked for your enjoyment. Brewmaster, Peter Bouckaert, came to us from Rodenbach – home of the fabled sour red. Our La Folie emulates the spontaneous fermentation beers of Peter’s beloved Flanders with sour apple notes, a dry effervescence, and earthy undertones.”

Well, there you have it. If this sounds good to you, go snag a bottle quick while supplies last.

I am more likely to pick up a 22 ounce bottle of the Deschutes Black Butte XX — the imperial version of the Bend-based brewery’s Black Butte Porter brewed to celebrate their 20th Anniversary — before supplies run out.

The Boise Co-Op only has a few cases of the Black Butte XX left. So if you want one, get it soon.

According to the folks at Deschutes “our brewers enhanced this elixir with Theo’s Chocolate cocoa nibs from Seattle, dry-hopped with 100 pounds of Bellatazza’s locally roasted coffee, and then aged a portion of it in Stranahan’s Colorado whiskey barrels.”

The Black Butte XX is also kind of pricey — a single 22 ounce bottle cost me $9.53 with tax at the Co-Op.

I liked the beer a lot but I also think it could really benefit from some aging — some more time for all those flavors to mix and meld together. So if you like the style and have some room in the fridge or the cellar, pick up another bottle before it is gone for good.
