Beekeeper's Saison All Grain Beer Recipe Kit

Beekeeper's Saison

The second those May flowers pop up, so do the pollinators. Our new Beekeeper’s Saison lets the agrarian roots of honey beer shine through with a pound of premium light amber honey. This Saison embodies the history of farmhouse brewing with traditional pilsner malt, noble Kent Golding hops, and classic French Saison yeast. Saisons have a tolerance for higher fermentation temperatures and can even improve the warmer they ferment! Notes of black pepper, exotic spice, a long dry finish, and bold fruity yeast aromatics make this a delightful Spring and Summer treat—for you, not the bees.
