We are hosting 2 Brewers Select Beers!!!!!!!!! Saison: Originated in the Wallonia region of southern Belgium during the 19th century. Meaning season in French, Saisons were typically brewed during winter months, and stored until summer months when they were given to farm workers as a form of hydration when water wasnt suitable for drinking. Brewing in the winter provided farmers with work during an otherwise slow time of year. Also, spent grain from brew days was used for animal feed, providing livestock with nutrients when grain was unable to grow, making brewing beneficial to multiple aspects of farm life. ESB- English-Style Bitter: The bitter style came from brewers who wanted to differntiate these ales from other mild brews...enter pale malts and more hops. Most are gold to copper in color and are light bodied with low carbonation.
