Five great brewers - one incredible beer

It’s official — the long-awaited Isabelle Proximus will be released this Saturday (June 28) at 10 a.m. at Port Brewing / The Lost Abbey in San Marcos.

If you’ve been locked in a closet for the past year-and-a-half, then you’re probably not aware that this is the Gueze-style beer made in a collaboration between Lost Abbey, Avery Brewing, Russian River, Allagash and Dogfish Head.

It started with the boys brewing a base beer which was divvied up and aged in barrels contributed by each of the breweries. We stared at those barrels for over a year, asking at least once a week, “is it done yet?”

Finally a few months back, they blended the barrels and Isabelle was born. Now it’s ready for it’s coming out party.
