The beer style grisette takes its name from the women in Industrial Revolution France and Belgium who were among the first to work outside the home. At the same time, it recalls the setting of their day. The grey stone of mining towns and the drab, coal-clotted streets of the Industrial Revolution that made grey the colour of urban life.
Like the spirit of the grisettes, perhaps, the drink provides a sharp contrast to its dull surroundings. Pale golden, light, and effervescent, it’s a kind of sunlight in a glass. The opposite of an industrial pub, subterranean mine, or coal smudged city. Perhaps that’s why it was so popular among the coal miners who spent long days underground harvesting the fuel Europe relied on.
Today, as in centuries past, we can enjoy it after a hard day’s work.
