La Fée
Dragée Bottle Release
Third
bottle release from The Hourglass Brewery available December 19, 2015
La Fée
Dragée is a 9%
ABV Belgian Christmas Ale aged in Nicaraguan rum barrels. This holiday beer
includes a bevy of delicious dried fruits and spices and bursts
with tasting notes of apricots, plums, and Turkish figs.
In French, La Fée means "The Fairy" and Dragée
means "Confection." La Fée Dragée, or the sugar plum fairy, has been
inexorably linked to the Christmas season since the 1800s when these dancing
fairies were immortalized in Tchaikovsky's, The
Nutcracker, and Clement Clarke Moore’s idyllic poem, “A Visit from St. Nicholas”. La Fée Dragée is a beer modeled after sugarplum candies befitting any
holiday occasion.
Bottles will be available for purchase at the brewery on December 19, 2015 beginning at 11 a.m., along with limited distribution in Orange and Seminole counties. They will be priced at $18 each. Special Holiday 4-packs will also be available: 2 bottles of La Fée Dragée and 2 bottles of Nut Squasher Bourbon Barrel Aged Autumn Ale for $60.

I love the space here. I attended an amazing event here and I ate more than I should. I had bread pudding, apple crisp, waffles and strawberries and cream. The main floor at party venues is very large and good size without being overwhelming, also there's tons of bar space too to order drinks.
