Here are the details courtesy of the brewery blog:
We just scored some Saison yeast so we’re brewing two back to back Saisons — the first is a draft only beer called Dripping Saison. This is aimed at a core Saison to aid us all in gliding through the summer season with a stable go-to session anchor. We took a bit of it and roughed it up with some off-beat treatment that may or may not eek it’s way out to you, but the bulk will be poured into growlers at our store.
The second Saison is part of a two-part double brew with our friends from Short’s Brewing in Bellaire, MI. For the first half we hit the road and brewed it in MI at their facility this past Monday. The second will be brewed this Friday here on Lincoln Ave before heading out to the My Morning Jacket show.
The beer is called Captain Fantasy. We’re brewing identical recipes at each location with two separate labels of our own interpretation. Captain Fantasy is a Saison brewed with pears and Sorachi Ace hops. The beer should be pleasantly off kilter and our time with Short’s is always time well spent.
Captain Fantasy will be available in 22’s and for growler pours.
