{"product_id":"blaugies-blidegarian-imperial-stout","title":"Blaugies Blidegarian Imperial Stout","description":"Blaugies Blidegarian Imperial Stout is a rare dark ale from Brasserie de Blaugies, a farmhouse brewery in Belgium’s Hainaut region best known for its rustic saisons. Brewed in collaboration with American brewer Sean “Blidegarian” Blide, this stout represents a technical departure from Blaugies’ usual mixed-fermentation beers — a high-gravity ale fermented warm with a Belgian yeast strain to achieve both depth and expressive ester character. At around 9% ABV, it layers pale, chocolate, and roasted barley malts for a dense profile of espresso, bitter cocoa, and dark caramel. Unlike British or American imperial stouts, Blidegarian retains a distinctly Belgian fermentation signature — hints of dark fruit, spice, and phenolic dryness balancing the roast. Bottle-conditioned for natural carbonation and long-term stability, it’s a technically complex stout that bridges Belgian farmhouse precision with imperial stout richness, offering an elegant yet powerful dark beer expression.","brand":"Craft Republic\/Lohr","offers":[{"title":"12.7oz Btl","offer_id":42776687968374,"sku":"5410557000326","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/9717\/7206\/files\/blaugies.jpg?v=1763729720","url":"https:\/\/www.wineandcheeseplace.com\/products\/blaugies-blidegarian-imperial-stout","provider":"The Wine \u0026 Cheese Place","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
