2 Crows – Biere de Coupage Blended Saison (473ml)

To start the process, brewers made a peppy, hop-forward saison base with local Pilsner, wheat, and Vienna malt, and hopped assertively with Sterling, Huell Melon, and (lots of) Saaz, and fermented with a combination of the brewery’s house saison strain and Brett Q from Escarpment Labs.

To this hoppy saison base, a selection of 8 particular barrels that were found to have the right balance of acidity, zippiness, funk, and earthy character was blended together. These barrels had a range of different golden beers in them, and had been in barrel for anywhere from 15 to 20 months.

Then the beer naturally carbonated, and was finished with dry hopping with lots of Saaz, some Huell Melon, and a bit of Bru-1 for a bit of a rounded and new world kick to this classic beer.
