SBS Imports Announces Arrival of De Proef-Terrapin Collaboration “Monstre Rouge”

Each year SBS Imports invites a noted brewer to co-design a beer to be brewed at De Proef. This past March, Terrapin’s Brian “Spike” Buckowski traveled to Lochristi, Belgium to collaborate with De Proef Owner-Brewmaster Dirk Naudts. The result was Monstre Rouge, the fourth beer in the De Proef Collaboration Series.

“We consider it a great honor to be invited to partner on this beer” — Spike Buckowski, Terrapin Co-Founder and Brewmaster. “It is a truly impressive list of brewers who have come before us and it has been a great experience to work with De Proef and SBS.”
