Some traditions are meant to be broken 🖤🍺

Meet UNORTHODOX — our Belgian Witbier × Cascadian Dark Ale, where two very different styles come together in one seriously unique b**r.

Midnight Wheat + Special B bring delicate chocolate and roasty notes, while coriander, orange peel and tangerine add a bright citrus character. Pacific Jade, Citra + Idaho 7 hops round it all out with a hop-forward finish.

Dark without being heavy. Citrusy without being sweet. Definitely Unorthodox.

And the best part? It’s available NOW at all Monkless locations, on draft + in cans to-go.

Come grab a pint and take a few home. 🍻

It’s Oktoberfest season!

This b**r is inspired by Bavaria’s traditional Marzen bier, brewed for their Oktoberfest celebrations. To craft a Belgian version of this unique seasonal b**r, we’ve blended our Dubbel Or Nothing and Reverie Pils at a precise ratio. You will find a subtle malt sweetness with hints of caramel, graham cracker and toast, all balanced by a crisp herbal quality from the Noble Hops.

Come try Oktoberfest at either The Brasserie or The Abbey while supplies last! 🍻

A little hidden, a little cozy, and always pouring something good. The kind of place where you pull up a chair, stay awhile, and pretty soon, everybody knows your name.

Come find us at The Abbey 🍻

🍃 ⭐️ Falling into Fresh ⭐️🍃

Brewed with our friends at ColdFire Brewing to celebrate Monkless’ 10th Anniversary, Falling into Fresh marks our first-ever fresh hop b**r, pairing Belgian brewing tradition with one of the Pacific Northwest’s most celebrated seasonal ingredients.

Fresh Centennial hops were cryogenically “shattered,” flash-frozen with liquid nitrogen to expose more aromatic hop oils and capture their vibrant, freshly harvested character. Bright citrus and soft grapefruit lead the way, while whirlpool additions of Saphir and Centennial build on the fresh hop aromatics with notes of grapefruit, pine, tangerine, and gentle spice.

The result is a crisp, refreshing Belgian-style Pale Ale with bright citrus, expressive fresh-hop character, and a subtle Belgian influence. Light and easy-drinking, Falling into Fresh brings together two brewing traditions in a b**r made to celebrate 10 years of Monkless and the great friends we’ve made along the way.

⭐️Brasserie Release: Sept. 4th

⭐️The Abbey Release: Sept. 12th at The Monkless 10th Anniversary party!

The B**rs That Built Monkless 🍻

On September 12th, we’re celebrating 10 years of Monkless Belgian Ales! And as we look back on the last decade, there are a few b**rs that have played an extra-special role in getting us here.

🍺 The Trinity — Our traditional Belgian Tripel and one of the styles that inspired Todd to start homebrewing in the first place.

🏆 Meet Your Maker — Our most-awarded b**r, with 9 medals to its name, and another style that helped spark Todd’s love of Belgian b**r.

🌾 Peppercorn Imperial Wit — Our top-selling b**r for 10 years and one of the b**rs that brought home our first World B**r Cup win.

🌿 Capitulation — Our first venture into hoppy b**r. We may have capitulated to the hops, but we never gave up the Belgian tradition. And it joined Peppercorn Imperial Wit in earning Monkless its first World B**r Cup medals.

These aren’t just b**rs on our tap list. They’re part of the story of Monkless, and the last 10 years wouldn’t be the same without them.

Now we want to hear from you: Which Monkless b**r has been YOUR favorite over the years? 🍻

Think you know Belgian b**r? Here are 5 things that might surprise you.

1. Belgian b**r isn’t one “style”.
“Belgian b**r” covers a HUGE range, Golden Ales, Dubbels, Tripels, Quads, Saisons, Wits and more. Light & refreshing to dark & boozy… there’s a Belgian style for everyone.

2. The yeast is kind of a big deal.
Those fruity, spicy flavors you taste? They don’t always come from added fruit or spices. Belgian yeast can naturally create flavors reminiscent of banana, pear, clove, pepper and bubblegum during fermentation.

3. Darker doesn’t always mean stronger.
A dark Dubbel can actually have less alcohol than a pale, golden Tripel. With Belgian b**r, color doesn’t dictate strength. Sneaky, sneaky.

4. The glass actually matters.
Belgian b**rs are traditionally served in different glass shapes for a reason. Tulips, goblets and chalices can help showcase the b**r’s aroma, carbonation and head — it’s not just about looking fancy.

5. Belgian b**r has some serious history.
Monasteries have played a major role in Belgian brewing for centuries, brewing b**r for their communities and eventually to help support the monastery and charitable work. Many of the styles we know today were shaped by these brewing traditions.

And that concludes today’s Belgian B**r 101.

Celebrate Belgian B**r Week with us at The Abbey Taproom and taste a little Belgian brewing tradition right here in Bend.
