How to Blow Up a Pipeline
Mirage Beer Company

A blend of young and aged saisons conditioned in oak with Montmorency cherries from Tamiyasu Orchards outside Hood River, OR. (Tamiyasu actually grew several different tart cherry varieties for us this year, but those late May freezes wiped their yields out. I'm hoping for a better season next year--before MIRAGE expressed interest, Tamiyasu planned to chop the trees down...) Montmorencies impart little color--the juice is almost clear--but they carry plenty of acidity and a classic cherry character.
