BeerSaturday 390 - Wila (Dunham)

avatar

Here's my entry for BeerSaturday 930 with a beer from brasserie Dunham, Wila, a coffee-infused brown ale. Yesterday after work, I needed something to boost my energy before the evening. I let myself be tempted by this blend, I'm usually more traditional, beer speaking 😀.

Voici ma participation au BeerSaturday 930 avec une bière de la brasserie Dunham, la Wila, une ale brune infusée au café. Hier après le travail, j'avais besoin de quelque chose pour récupérer un peu d'énergie avant la soirée. Je me suis laissé tenter par ce mélange, je suis généralement plus traditionnel, niveau bière 😀.

Here is the map of Quebec where I can show you precisely the location of the brewery. This isn't the first time I've introduced you to this brewery. The brasserie Dunham is still located east of Montreal on the Wine Route in the very pretty village of Dunham in the Eastern Townships.

Voici la carte du Québec ou je peux vous montrer précisément la localisation de la brasserie. Comme ce n'est pas la première fois que je vous présente cette brasserie. La brasserie Dunham est toujours située à l'est de Montréal sur la Route des vins dans le très joli village de Dunham dans les Cantons de l'Est.

📜 Brewery / Brasserie :

Nothing new for Dunham, it's always the same information I've already repeated 21 times. The brewery was founded in 2011 to explore new techniques and flavours thanks to its team of Sébastien Gagnon, director, Éloi Deit, master brewer and Éric Beaulac, manager. If you want to see the facilities with the restaurant, you can check out the photos on BeerSaturday 296.

🍺 Tasting / Dégustation :

Wila is a 4.9% alcohol brown ale with coffee. The main attraction of this beer is the coffee used. It comes from La Plata in Colombia and is grown by the Las Rosas cooperative, which is run entirely by women. The coffee is roasted by Structure in Montreal (I'll have to try their coffee).

In the glass, the beer has an almost transparent brown colour, with very little effervescence and almost no foam. Although on the designer's website, there's a very nice neck, I've still come across a ‘flat beer’ 😤.

On the palate, I found it was closer to a coffee-flavoured mate than a beer. Indeed the coffee flavour was pronounced leaving little room for the hops. But as I wanted a coffee, I didn't mind. In another context, I might have enjoyed it less.

Il provient de La Plata en Colombie cultivé par la coopérative Las Rosas gérée uniquement par des femmes. Le café a été torrefié par Structure à Montréal (il faudra que je goute leur café).

Dans le verre, on a une robe brune presque transparente, très peu effeverscente, presque aucune mousse. Bien que sur le site du designer, il y a un très beau col, je suis encore tombé sur une "flat" 😤.

En bouche, j'ai trouvé qu'on était plus près d'un maté aromatisé au café que d'une bière. En effet le gout de café était prononcé laissant peu de place au houblon. Mais comme je voulais un café, cela ne m'a pas dérangé. Dans un autre contexte, j'aurai peut être moins apprécié.

Design

The design is by Ed Kwong, an illustrator based in Montreal. His book MADEMYTHOS looks interesting with these mythological characters revisited. For the Wila, the work is quite nice. The color scheme chosen respects the colour of the beer. The female characters echo the Las Rosas cooperative, which is 100% female 👍.

The logo is a winning one-the colour blend and is eye-catching.

The main attraction of this beer is the coffee used.

However, this is the selling point that would make me buy this beer.

Seasons Greetings and a happy Sunday!

What's more, I think I had a beer that was a bit flat. Maybe try to buy another one just to see if it was the case as Dunham's beers are always of high quality.
Have a great Sunday

Very nice looking design. Nice story on the beer but sounds like a nice beer would have been good too 😆 My best friend back in college works with coffee growers to improve their lot by marketing and upgrading their operating processes. Has been doing it for like 30 years. Too bad the friendship didn't last as long 🙁
