I decided to check out the beer knowing really, honestly, nothing about it. Which, really, is a great way to approach a beer. Not long afterwards, BOV’s crafty video editor, Marc, found this link and info:

BUFFALO from Brouwerij Van Den Bossche is dark, almost black, top fermented Belgian style stout. In 1907 “Buffalo Bill’s” Circus from the US played on the town square of Sint-Lievens-Esse. The brewery workers arranged for a young apprentice to watch over the brew kettels. He did, but he forgot to stir and Buffalo was born. The New Buffalo was created to commemorate 100th Anniversary of that event.

A cute story, indeed, from their website. What makes a stout “Belgian-style,” you ask? Roll the tape!
