Maui Brewing Collaborates with Lost Abbey

Meet Lemongrass Saison, Maui Brewing’s collaboration with Lost Abbey using 150 lbs of 100% local Maui raised lemongrass. Around 500 barrels were produced and all of Maui’s distribution area should be seeing it in cans and maybe even on draft. According to Maui, the beer pairs well with “chilling outdoors with friends,” which of course is the best pairing of all.

Elysian to Debut Oddland Series, Peppercorn Saison

Elysian Brewing would like to introduce a new series to their collection.
The Oddland Series will produce brews intermittently that will feature strage ingredients. Expect to see everything from peppercorns to cardamom and all in-between. This will be a collaborative effort with Seattle artist Jim Woodring.

“Here’s how the whole thing works. Head Brewer Dick Cantwell and his brainstormy gang get an idea; they run it by Woodring, who sketches his two cents’ worth and sends it on back; then the recipe is tweaked, the ingredients secured, suggestions made as to visual format, and away we all go, to Oddland.”

The first beer in the series, Peppercorn Saison, will launch mid-May and features white, green, black, and pink peppercorns.

Style: Saison
Availability: 22oz bottles
Arrival: May 2013

7% ABV

Jester King Salt Lick: Wood Smoked Saison

Jester King (Austin, TX) continues to push the flavor boundaries with Salt Lick, a smoked saison. The beer is a collaboration of sorts. A portion of the malt was smoked over pecan wood at Salt Lick BBQ in Driftwood, Texas.

First came the witches, and soon after there were vampires. They came in droves and each time one popped up it seems to be better looking then the last., each polished to a blinding luster. For a brief moment even werewolves even had there moment in the spotlight, plucked and preened to studio perfection. Then, to our astonishment, monsters comprised of nothing more than smoke joined this pop phenomenon – and that we couldn’t resist.

Style: Saison (Partially Oak Aged, Smoked)
Availability: 750 ml bottles
Arrival: TBA

6.7% ABV
