Swamp Head Saison Du Swamp with a Funky Twist

Swamp Head Brewery’s (Gainesville, FL) Saison du Swamp is among the brewery’s most well known releases. As Swamp Head gears up for a 2013 release, you might be surprised to see a version with a funky twist. The infamous, funky, “Brett” yeast.

Our coveted saison starts off with a traditional Saison yeast, giving it aromas of pepper and white fruits and a lingering finish with a hint of floral hops. 
To weave some funk into this already tangled tapestry of flavors, we decided to introduce Brettanomyces Bruxellensis.   
This wild yeast strain know at “brett” has thrown a pleasant earthy barnyard funk. You will also find a refreshingly dry finish with a soft residual sweetness left behind by the orange blossom honey in the funky and new version of an old Swamp Head Classic.

Style: Saison (w/ Orange Blossom Honey, Spices)
Availability: 750 ml Bottles
Arrival: TBA

7% ABV

Martin House Day Break

Martin House Brewing Company has created a beer mimicking a bowl of breakfast cereal. Sadly, it’s not Coco Peebles or Count Chocula. Daybreak has a whole slew of grains, including barley, wheat, oats, and rye. On top of that, lactose (milk sugar) and honey were also added. The hops purportedly give the beer a little black currant and mint flavor.  The abv is not too high either. Just 5%

Available on draft and in cans. Perfect at sunrise.. Or whenever you want a some cereal..errr beer.
