Christmas Duyck.

I saved the most festive looking of the 12 Beers of Christmas for last, on Christmas Day.

Brasserie Duyck is a fourth generation family brewery, started by Felix Duyck in 1922 in Jenlain, France.  Most of their beers are distributed primarily in champagne bottles, which of course are readily available in France.  These bottles are the ideal size for sharing – a glass for you, a glass for me, and whoever finishes their glass first (usually me) gets the rest.

The Bière De Noël is actually a slightly heavier version of their Bier de Garde.  It is made with more malt and has a higher alcohol content (6.8%) than their Bier de Garde.  It was quote enjoyable, and a great finish to the 12 Beers of Christmas.

Meet the Duycks.
