Sydney based bistro and brewery, Frenchies, is launching a new limited release beer to celebrate its seventh year in business – the Devil Belgian Golden Ale.

The Devil is an 8.5% Blonde Ale the team has brewed with Pilsner malts, Bohemian hops and a rare yeast strain. The result is a unique beer that displays a lively aroma and palate of fresh hops and hints of spices, along with a rounded mouthfeel that presents a lingering and refreshing dry finish.

Frenchies Brewery director, Vincent De Soyres, said the team wanted to develop something that reflected the brand’s European roots, featured a combination of some of its favourite ingredients from the continent, and paid homage to a classic beer style that has influenced Frenchies’ growth and development over the years.

“In 2023 you may remember we opted for a DDH Tripel coined Trippin Balls, which was inspired by the iconic Delirium Tremens. This year’s brew reflects our love of the Duvel, and achieves all three of the characteristics mentioned above!”

“Demand for our products, as well as services continues to be high, and this is a result of the flexible and agile operation we’ve solidified, ongoing commitment to quality, and talented production team,” said De Soyres.

“In exciting news, this has seen us grow our brew crew, with the recent addition of Liam Judd as Junior Brewer, who joins us from East Coast Canning, and as such, brings a wealth of industry knowledge to the role.”

Frenchies other latest releases include the tropical flavoured Cool Kids Troppo Hazy IPA, part of its collaboration series with Hopsters Cooperative Brewery, and the Frenchies Mid and Dry lagers.

Despite the trying times being felt across the sector, the brewery has continued to see great success this year, with all tanks across its two sites consistently full with Frenchies own beers, as well as contract beverages spanning beers, seltzers, RTDs and non-alcoholic drinks.
