Brewstache

The portrait

The Brewstache? Our liquid contribution to Movember. A Rauchbier brewed exclusively during this month when moustaches are grown to raise awareness for men's health. While our brewery actively supports prostate cancer research, this smoky beer flows into glasses.

In the glass, it's a lesson in artisanal smoking. The beechwood-roasted malts unfold their aromas like a sophisticated campfire. Smoked ham, leather, biscuit—it's like biting into a charcuterie board served in a leather goods store. The malty body remains smooth (their words), while the creamy, rich head tops it all off like... a mustache of foam, of course.

At 6.2% and 22 IBU, it strikes a balance. Not too bitter to mask the smoky flavors, not too heavy to drink several while supporting the cause. It's our way of turning awareness into a shared tasting experience.

The story

Born in our Ephemeral series, Brewstache represents much more than just a seasonal beer. The concept? Growing mustaches AND raising awareness. While facial hair grew, our Brewstache flowed into glasses, reminding everyone with every sip of the importance of prevention and screening.

This smoked beer embodied our philosophy: we can talk about serious topics without losing the pleasure of tasting them. A creative brew serving a cause that affects us all.

The final word

Brewstache remains in our hearts as the beer that combined business with pleasure. A Rauchbier that proved you can support an important cause while enjoying yourself.

For those who tasted it in 2015, it evokes those moments when the brewing community gathered around a smoked glass and a budding mustache. A beer that reminds us to take the time to reflect, to enjoy, and above all, to take care of our health.

We want you to enjoy it while taking the time to reflect.

Cheers! 🍻
