Burial Haysaw Saison Coming to Cans Week of August 24th

Burial Haysaw Saison is headed to cans the week of August 24th. This is the beer’s first time in cans.

Burial Haysaw Saison uses local Riverbend Malt House barley and wheat, and noble hops to a create traditional Belgian-style saison.

Used for centuries on the farm as a tool to cut through bales of hay, this saw has a decidedly demonic figure. Inspired by Burial’s future as a farmhouse brewery, this Belgian farmhouse ale is deceivingly complex. pale, wheat and Belgian crystal malts are combined to forge a wonderfully well-rounded beer, while wide bodied slow fermentation of our house saison yeast imparts plum and clove flavors.

Burial Haysaw Saison is a 16 ounce can offering. It has already been available on draft.

Style: Saison
Availability: 16oz Cans (New), Draft.
Release: Week of August 24th, 2015
