Valaisanne Édition Limitée Alpiniste – A beer that breathes the mountain
In the heart of the Valais Alps rises a mountain that inspires and challenges adventurers: the Barrhorn. At 3,610 metres, it is the highest hiking mountain in Europe – a place that embodies Valais in its most original form: wild, powerful and characterful.
These qualities are also reflected in the Valaisanne Alpiniste, a limited special edition from the Valaisanne brewery in Sion. A beer that captures the spirit of the Barrhorn – and brings it to your home.
Brewing art with an alpine soul
Valaisanne has stood for unique Swiss brewing art for over 150 years. The new Alpiniste beer is a project born from passion and innovative spirit. The idea: to brew a beer that makes the character of the mountain perceptible in every bottle.
To achieve this, the brewmasters broke entirely new ground – transporting rock directly from the summit of the Barrhorn to the brewery to create a truly stone-matured beer.
An extraordinary brewing mission
The path to the Valaisanne Alpiniste was a challenge – not only the strenuous ascent to 3,610 metres, but also the pioneering spirit needed to use rock as an ingredient in the brewing process.
The questions were manifold: Which rock is suitable? How can it be integrated into the brewing process? And how does one develop a recipe that carries exactly this special note?
The result speaks for itself.
This is what the mountain tastes like
The Valaisanne Alpiniste presents itself in a light brown colour with a majestic head of foam. The aroma is defined by the spicy character of the Hallertauer Mittelfrüh hop variety, the body impresses with a finely malty flavour profile.
Through maturation on Valais mountain rock, this strong beer develops a deep, raw and yet balanced character that is truly one of a kind.
A beer to discover, linger over and enjoy.
