Gigantic Fantastic Voyage -Oak Aged Brett Saison

This is the first release of our Brett series in 500ml bottle conditioned bottles. There will be a new beer every 4-5 months.

Beer Name: Fantastic Voyage -Oak Aged Brett Saison

Description:  This beautiful saison was fermented with a mixed culture of saison and brettanomyces yeasts, then aged in oak for an extended time. Naturally fermented in the bottle with an additional yeast for added complexity. 

Tasting Notes: Plenty of tropical fruit with mango, pineapple, subtle funk and a bouquet of floral hops. Intensely drinkable with a refreshing tartness. 

History & Style: This is a mixed fermentation brett saison from Gigantic. It took a long time for us to finish this project, but we’ve really enjoyed the journey and the finished beer, and hope you do as well. 

Artist: Mike Davis is a modern surrealist painter. Possessing a multi-faceted set of interests, Davis began painting in 1997, and attributes much of his inspiration to watching his mother pursue craft projects during his childhood, and immersing himself in art history throughout his career. From helping his mother with activities ranging from woodworking, hand-tooling leather, and remodeling the family's home, to engaging with ancient art and Netherlandish painting from the Northern Renaissance, Davis is a self-taught painter, who continues to render l complex paintings of surrealist life, embedded with symbols of mortality, folly, and hubris, fixated within whimsical compositions.
