This summer seasonal will be available from June through September.
Saison translates to “Season” in English. Farmers across Europe would make Farmhouse Ales for the summer months for a few reasons…
Most importantly it was a “big” beer. They added “extreme” amounts of hops and malt to have a beer that wouldn’t spoil in the hot summer months. The hops were usually very low in Alpha Acid content so the beer was not overly bitter. It was considered a strong beer for the time even though it topped out at 4% ABV.
