The results of the 2025 Melbourne Royal International Beer Awards were announced just over a month ago, with this very special Oud Bruin picking up its first Gold medal.
We've been quietly celebrating ever since - and with the release of a new Carillon bottling as part of this year's Dark Beer Week, we thought we'd raise the Workshop gates and let loose something a little special, to acknowledge the Bell which does toil.
For a limited time only, you can pick up a vertical duo-duo of our Gold Medal Award Winning Carillon 2020 bottling, alongside the current 2025 release, and taste the evolution of this Flemish bruin first hand.
Strictly limited stocks available. Each pack contains:
2x Carillon 2020 375ml Oud Bruin, 7.4%
2x Carillon 2025 375ml Oud Bruin, 6.9%
Oud Bruin, the traditional brown ale of Flemish Belgium, here painstakingly recreated and lovingly tended by Dave Bell, our Wild Workshop brewer.
Prolonged ageing in wood with a blend of yeasts and Lactobacillus creates a beer bursting with dark sour cherry and dried fruit flavours, topped off with coffee and chocolate notes.
Dark and complex, a little bit like our Dave. Ask not for whom the Bell toils, he toils for thee.
