“…if I were forced to choose one style to drink with every meal for the rest of my life, saison would have to be it.”
-Garrett Oliver
Just opened the first two bottles of the latest homebrew: Five Year Farmhouse. This saison style ale was brewed with honey, orange peel, coriander, ginger, and a mixture of wheat and malt extract. It was brewed to commemorate the five year anniversary of our arrival in San Diego and may be my most proud accomplishment to date.
Haven’t tried a saison yet? Here’s more Garrett Oliver for you:
“The combination of dynamic bitterness, scouring carbonation, bright aromatics, spicy flavors, pepper notes, dark earthy underpinnings, and racy acidity gives these beers a hook to hang their hat on for a wide range of dishes.”
I can’t wait to start pairing this one with food!
