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.”

Monstre Rouge
(Loosely based on Terrapin’s Big Hoppy Monster with a Belgian twist)

• Style: Imperial Flanders Red Ale
• ABV: 8.5%
• Malt Profile: Range of Crystal malts, Munich and Terrapin’s signature Rye
