100 batches of beer!! Holy cow it’s gone by fast. To celebrate this occasion we made a barrel fermented saison (surprise, surprise). Fairly simple base beers fermented in French oak puncheons with our house mixed culture (lots of brettanomyces, lactobacillus, and pediococcus) and saison yeast. We lightly dry hopped this beer with German Hallertau Mittelfrau. That all developed into a spicy and tropical saison with integrated and lively acidity bringing flavors of tropical citrus, pineapple, pepper, and a faint hint of wet wood in the background. Hope you all enjoy!

I love this yeast profile, tastes like brett lambicus to me. The carb is a bit heavy which tends to make the beer prickly. Otherwise a fantastic highlight of the yeast
