Speaking of dark caramelized syrup . . .

As you may know, Brooklyn Brewery brewmaster Garrett Oliver brewed a batch of beer a while back at Les 3 Fourquets in Belgium, the brewpub owned by Brasserie d’Achouffe. Pierre Gobron and Christian Bauweraerts of Achouffe returned the favor last week, visiting Oliver in Brooklyn.

You’ll find a complet photo essay of the events here, including a picture of two quite large containers of dark candi syrup (followied by more pictures of syrup being added to the brew).

The beer will be called Cuvee D’Achouffe.
