Beer Tweet Up @5 Seasons West!

In early July, I got to collaborate with Crawford Moran & Matt on a beer.  After Crawford and I got to talking, a  beer I’d always wanted to try surfaced – a dark saison.  I really thought it would be interesting to take a darker spin on the light bodied saison.  On brew day we went to work.  Starting around 7:30 am we fired up the grain mill.  All in all, this beer took about 7 hours to brew from start to finish, and has been fermenting about 3 months.

This Thursday, yours truly (@ATLBeerMaster) , Jennifer Mann (@ATLBeerChick), Wendy Rutherford (@ATL_Events), and John Ashbaugh (@AtlantaBeer) with 5 Seasons West will be getting together to tap the Dark Saison.  It will be a pretty cool evening, Wendy has “negotiated” some specials including $3 pours of the Dark Saison, $5 Svedka vodka cocktails, $5 house red & white wine, & 2 for 1 app specials!  Be sure to read on to see how this beer is brewed.
