This is a complex little beer we lovingly call Milo. It’s an homage to the descendent critters that make up our house saccharomyces saison yeast blend. Fermented wholly in oak wine casks for a more expressive yeast character and a touch of woody dryness in the finish.
What makes saison such a subtly complex beer style is the expression of the yeast. To achieve the right balance of fruit and spice fermentation character—without overshadowing malt body and bitterness—takes a careful hand. By fermenting Milo wholly in oak and unbunged (i.e. no atmospheric pressure) our house Saison yeast blend is more expressive, more layered and simply more alive.
Saison in cans? WTF?
We believe Milo is a beer for everyone, so no cork and cage here. Saison's history begins in the French speaking part of Belgium where it was brewed specifically to quench the thirst of seasonal farm workers centuries ago. The dryness and subtle complexity of the style pairs perfectly with hard work, sweat and calloused hands. And we all know beer never tastes better than when you earn it, right?
This is a Limited Run, so get em before we drink it all.
