Harvest - Saison - BeerCo Recipe Kit

Harvest | Saison | BeerCo Recipe Kit is a traditional Wallonian harvest ale brewed with Pilsner, Munich and Wheat Malts, hopped with GR Hallertauer Tradition Hops and fermented with your choice of either Liquid Saison GigaYeast or Lallemand Belle Saison Dry Yeast.  

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
