Product Information

Another brewery nearly synonymous with the American saison, Jolly Pumpkin has been making delicious funky beer for over a decade. And, like Jester King, Jolly Pumpkin is ubiquitous. Everyone has tried Bam Bière. But it never gets old. And, rather than rest on its laurels, Jolly Pumpkin continues to innovate within the category experimenting with hoppy saisons and fruited sour ales.

Often these yeasts are free of bacteria – the yeasts had overthrown them. Some farmhouse yeasts include also souring bacteria, but even those are used for producing beer that is not sour. Fermentation Characteristics: Mild carbonation traditionally characterizes draft-cask versions, but in bottled versions, a slight increase in carbon dioxide content is acceptable. Fruity esters are acceptable. Diacetyl is usually absent in these beers but may be present at low levels. Started by friends Bryan Leavelle, Andrew Strasburg, and Brandon Proff in 2012, Our Mutual Friend (OMF) is the place where you drink beer with friends you’ve known for twenty years. Or you make friends with someone you’ve never met before. It’s the place where the friends of your friends introduce you, and you become friends.Sour ales with kveik and lactic bacteria are simple to brew but the end result can be very complex: tropical fruits and pleasant tartness as if exotic fruits had been used.

This tartness might be also related to raw ales (I guess that’s what your beers are?). They are less sweet than boiled-wort beers and for this reason I brew them stronger, with gravity 1.070 or more. Low final gravity can increase tartness. Also kveiks drop pH more that brewer’s yeast and that might add tartness. Based on my tests brews, pitching very low amounts of yeast, such us 1 g of dried kveik for 20 liters, seem to produce more tart tasting beers. Reply This is the description of how the Specialty Saison style of beer should taste, feel and look. However, there may be perfectly fine beers in this style that fall outside of these ranges and descriptions. This information is just to show the most commonly accepted ranges for the Specialty Saison beer style. The specific grains used in a particular beer is called the "grain bill". While just about any grain can be used, most beers use barley malt as their primary source of fermentable sugars, and some beer styles mandate it be used exclusively, such as those German styles developed under Reinheitsgebot. Some beer styles can be considered varietals, in the same sense as wine, based on their malt bill. [11] Most beer styles fall into types roughly according to the time and temperature of the primary fermentation and the variety of yeast used during fermentation. As the terminology of brewing arose before the advent of the science of microbiology, "yeast" in this context may refer not only to fungi but to some bacteria, for example Lactobacillus in Berliner Weisse. In this recipe I have also added plain white sugar. Typically Belgian beers use a dark caramelised syrup which is referred to as Candi sugar. Home brew shops sell a hard candi sugar which is quite expensive and in my experience yields the same results as ordinary table sugar. If you want to try something different maybe use something like demerara or brown sugar, these will add a dark rummy quality you won’t get from plain white.

Suarez Family makes unique beers. In addition to beautifully simple lagers, Suarez produces “country beers,” the brewery’s interpretation of farmhouse ales. Beers like Big Night or Triangular Nature are subtle and complex, with vibrant fruit flavors running against a crisp and dry finish. Like many others on this list, a Suarez beer feels wholly special to the brewery. Mont Sainte-Victoire is the brewery’s most faithful representation of a saison, so we’d highly recommend exploring all of the variants within this family. Below we’ve rounded up several of our favorite saison producers in the country. You’ll find a mix of readily accessible options, some likely available in your local craft beer bottle shop and a few that will be tough to find. The Seattle brewery produces some stunning examples of the style. Holy Mountain’s beers are rustic and historic, ideally suited for modern palates. The funk profile is balanced and a bit floral, softening that harsh exterior.

Kveiks have been domesticated, that is, they have properties that are useful to the brewer but not typical for wild yeasts.

In this guide, I use the term “yeast” liberally for both yeast strains and mixed yeast cultures. If there’s a need to be more specific, I speak about a yeast strain (only one strain of yeast), mixed yeast culture (several yeasts), or mixed culture (mixtures of microbes, usually yeasts and possibly souring bacteria). Canadian microbiologist Richard Preiss is the leading “kveik scientist”. I will be referring to his work throughout this guide. He is also the co-founder of Escarpment Labs that provides yeast cultures, including kveik, to brewers. What These Yeasts Are Good For? The most attractive attribute about kveik strains are their ability to create ester combinations not attainable through other commercially-available yeasts. We use kveik for almost all of our beers, with some exceptions. Kveik doesn’t work for any style of beer that would require phenols to be present because they are not POF+, so we don’t use it for our saison. We first fell in love with the Baileys Harbor brewery for their surprisingly balanced hazy IPAs, but we’ve come to regard Hacienda as one of our favorite Midwest saison breweries. Now we‘ve looked at some common Belgian beer styles, let’s move and and get to the important bit of brewing them. In this section I will show you a couple of recipes and explore some important points to make your home brewed Belgian beer unique to you.
