Dunham
Located in the small country town of Dunham, Quebec, about thirty minutes from the Vermont border, is Brasserie Dunham. Brewmaster Eloi Deit, formerly of Quebec’s famous Le Cheval Blanc, took over the struggling little brewpub as a temporary moonlighting gig. Before he knew it, he had cleaned house, ditched the recipes, and when the sun came up, he had created something truly special.
These days, Brasserie Dunham is known for a wide variety of beers, but especially their saisons and barrel aged beers. Surrounded by fruit farmers, honey producers, cideries, and wineries, Eloi’s geography is not unlike Hill Farmstead, and the effect it has on his mindset as a brewer is similarly nuanced. Beautiful, fluffy, balanced beers that are bright and full of flavor.
Tasting Notes
One of the first beers we ever brought in from Dunham! Leo’s Early Breakfast makes its return, in cans!
Bursting with rich aromas of tropical hops and guava puree that is balanced slightly with the herbal and bergamont notes of early gray tea. This IPA is both complex and endlessly refreshing, and with a firmly bitter finish, you’ll want to sip on it any time of the day – even breakfast.

Method
A collaboration between Anders Kissmeyer and Brasserie Dunham. It is an IPA infused with guava and Earl Grey tea from their friends at Camillia Sinensis. A bewitching, complex beer that is both bitter and fruity.
