Common descriptors are
Silvius Brabo is a hero in Belgian folklore, a Roman soldier who killed a giant called Druon Antigoon. Old Antigoon (another good name for a beer...or a band) asked peeps who wanted to pass the bridge over the river Scheldt for money. When they didn’t or couldn’t pay up, he cut off their hands and threw them into the river. A pissed off Brabo slayed him, cut off the hand of the giant, spit on it (I made that up) and threw it into the river. Fittingly analogous to Lake Bluff Brewing Company (Silvius) battling megabreweries (’Goon the Giant) all so you can cross a bridge...or something... Anywho, come to Lake Bluff Brewing for a pint of our latest great offering, Silvius Brabo Belgian Blonde Ale or we’ll cut off your hand and throw it in a river. Cheers, Rodd and Dave Silviuis Brabo Belgian Blonde Ale ABV: 7.25%, IBU: 24, SRM: 6 A slightly sweet start that finishes dry, with mild spice notes from the Belgian yeast. Light colored and minimally hopped, it’s refreshing and surprisingly easy drinking for a 7.25% beer.
