幸あれ (Best Wishes)

A celebration-worthy strong saison with an addictively fruity and spicy yeast character that finishes authentically dry

[Character]
Belgian Farmhouse inspired Saison. Light and crisp ale with a blend of soft fruity and floral aromatic notes from the yeast and hops. A clean drinkable malt base hides its high ABV with a hint of spice from a modest Rye addition.
[Food Pairing]
Salmon with dill marinade, roast chicken with grilled root vegetables and brussels sprouts, yuzu butter sauteed "buri" (yellowtail)
[Naming]
The Japanese name for this beer, "sachi are" means a hope of happiness, fortune, and luck, all things that people wish upon one another in the new year. This beer was inspired by our favourite strong saison, one that was originally conceived as a message of best wishes to those to who we feel indebted, and so we wished to carry that sentiment through our own interpretation of this wonderful celebratory beer style.
[Brewer's Voice]
This year we ring in the new year with our can-conditioned, imperial "farmhouse" saison. Saisons are often known as a farmhouse style of ale because historically they were brewed with whatever was available on the farm. This meant these beers often included a mix of grains and even potentially herbs and spices. We honour this tradition with a mix of rye, wheat, Munich malt, and floor malted pilsner. This gives the beer a complex semi-sweet malt character with a touch of rye spice. This beer was then boiled for 2 hours to further concentrate the malt character. Along the way, we added a mix of modern and classic hops including Styrian Goldings, Ekuanot, and Saaz, giving the beer a beautifally balanced blend of fruit, spice, and herbal aromas. Fermented with a farmhouse diastatic yeast strain, this beer has a dry finish with a mix of fruity and peppery yeast esters. This beer was can conditioned allowing the yeast to carbonate the beer naturally to a higher level, giving it a more spritzy champagne like feeling on the palate. This is a beer with a lot of complexity with a slightly boozy character, designed to be a treat to the senses for any celebration.
