An international brew is in the works.

Major Tom, a collaboration beer between Philadelphia's Monk's Cafe and Belgium's Brasserie de la Senne, will make its debut at 5 p.m. on April 10 at the Philadelphia bar.

Major Tom is a double saison which has been bottle-conditioned with a strain of Brettanomyces grown by Brasserie de la Senne and brewed with Beechwood smoked malt. The result is a super-dry finish and notes of smoke. It has an ABV of 7.2 percent.

It was brewed by the owner of Monk's Cafe, Tom Peters, in Belgium along with Brasserie de la Senne master brewer Yvan de Baets and Peters' daughter Isabel Thomas-Peters. It's the first time de Baets has collaborated with an American bar.

"Yvan is one of the finest brewers in the world, and Major Tom is a passion project for both of us," Peters said in a press release. "This beer is doubly special to me because it is a collaboration with my daughter, Isabel, and brings my love for craft brewing into the second generation of my family while adding another strong young woman to the flourishing craft beer conversation."

Major Tom will only be available at Monk's Cafe from April through June. Those who can't make the trip to Philadelphia will be able to enjoy it after that, when 11.2 ounce bottles will begin being distributed across the country by Shelton Brothers importers.

Major Tom also serves as a celebration beer, commemorating the 20 year history of Monk's, which was first opened in 1997 by Peters and Fergus Carey. Monk's is known for its collection of rare and Belgian beer. It's located at 264 S. 16th St. in Center City Philadelphia. For more information visit monkscafe.com or call 215-545-7005.
