Natty Greene’s brewer Thomas Vincent and Haw River’s Ben Woodward offer a tour of the saison, an increasingly popular craft beer style perfect for a hot day.

Our Belle Rye Saison is almost ready to go for the CQBO! Can't wait to have this tasty treat on the 4th of July.

After 3 fermentations, our sour mashed tripel (brewed this past Easter) is now crash cooling before going into a keg this weekend. Samples, so far, are reminiscent of Pinot Grigio.

OG: 1.077 -> FG: 1.010

Today seemed like a good day to brew. Started a 3-day sour mashed tripel, which I'll finish on Monday.

Score sheets will be in the mail later this week. If someone from your club was at the judging, they might have also collected them.

1 week of primary fermentation, the Baby Quad is tasting brilliant! Almost a bit like Rodenbach.

After a *long* and tiring brew day, we achieved some great mash efficiencies. And, the Baby Quad's sour mash smelled incredible!

2 days into our Baby Quad's extended mash and there is a noticeable hint of a sourdough smell. Added a few kernels of malt to the top for more funk. I'd say it's incubating nicely...

4-day extended mash for our "Baby Quad" is underway. Let's hope it picks up some lactobacillus character.
