Beer With a Wild Boar on the bottle?

The Canadian forum helped me track down the beer I had in a Toronto Indian restaurant. Can the Belgians match them?

In the dark days when I didn't record what beers I was drinking, my wife and I stayed at her aunt's house in Lorraine. The local supermarket sold various Belgian beers. I have identified a few but one has alluded me. It may in fact be French but I am pretty sure it was Belgian. The name and packaging were inspired by a giant boar that had been killed by hunters in the locality of the brewery. Ring a bell, anyone?

I was such a dumb arse that I didn't take the opportunity to go to Orvel. Do'h.

All the 'La Trouffette' labelled beers from Brasserie de Bastogne have a large 'Wild Boar' on their bottles.

Considering you saw them in a Lorraine supermarket, these pop up regularly

making ample use of the Ardennes sanglier/boar on all its labels, looking and tasting very Wallonian, but are in fact from Champagne-Ardenne in France?

Ha - I just did some detective work and came up with the same answer:

I took a look at the European Beer Museum website and spotted the Ardwen beers.

I see you enjoyed the Museum. The aunt dropped us off there. Only it was when they were shut for lunch for an hour so never got to go in. Spent an hour wondering around a shut-for-lunch town.

Wouldn't mind going again but this aunt has now fallen out with the rest of the family.
