The only self-proclaimed ‘Belgian stout’ ââ¬â 9% by volume ââ¬â named after famed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, a native son of Ellezelles. It’s every bit as sturdy and dapper as its namesake, and considered a World Classic.
The Brasserie Ellezelloise (pronounced ââ¬ÅEL-ZEL-WOZââ¬Â), is located in the town of Ellezelles in the gentle ââ¬Åhill countryââ¬Â of Belgium. Founded in 1993, the tiny brewery manages to produce 1000 hectoliters per year – the most of any brewery of the Belgian Artisanal Brewers Guild. Housed in a picturesque converted barn in French-speaking Belgium, the brewery includes a cozy café to which the local folk and connoisseurs from Brussels love to repair on weekend afternoons. There you can enjoy a wonderful Ellezelloise brew, served by the brewer, Philippe Gerard.
