Harvest - Saison - BeerCo All Grain Recipe Kit

Refreshing, in balance and true to style this beer is just as thirst quenching for the modern IT office worker after a hard day on the keyboard as it was for the Wallonian farm worker after a hard day’s work on the scythe at Harvest time! Santé! #workhard #playharder #harvestsaison
