About Scaldis
Wallonia is the French-speaking part of Belgium and the province where Scaldis is made is called Hainaut. The word means “Land of groves” and indeed it is the richest agricultural province in the country.
The Dubuisson brewery is in the hamlet of Pipaix, outside of Tournai. The brewery has been in operation since 1769, and Scaldis (Bush at home) is the strongest beer made in Belgium. It is hard to believe that Scaldis is 12% alcohol by volume. Beers this strong are generally quite heavy and sweet. Scaldis by contrast is quite dry with a pleasant nutty finish.
Also remarkable is the fact that Scaldis achieves its strength without evaporating or freezing out water to concentrate alcohol. Scaldis attains its alcohol level only by fermentation. Three different malts go into Scaldis, making it a beer with as much nuance as potency.
