About this beer

New Belgium Brewing’s Le Terroir is a complex American Sour Ale aged in foeder and dry-hopped, presenting at 6.5% ABV. As the name suggests—French for “of the earth”—this beer speaks to the unique natural environments that give foeder-aged beers their character. It is imparted with new and fruit forward hop varieties, marrying barrel character with juicy, peach-like tropical fruit hop accents. The label artwork depicts a stylized, abstract bird in flight against a pale, muted background, evoking a sense of natural flight and freedom.

This dry-hopped sour ale undergoes a lengthy aging process—over 20 months—in foeders, lending it a distinctive character. Notes of cool universe plums and felt aromas are apparent, stemming from natural fermentation with wild cultures. The beer is bottled and conditioned, resulting in a satisfyingly complex and nuanced drinking experience.
