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.

I’ve been wondering which edition of this beer would reach Atlanta first. This beer is a collaboration between Victory, Stone, and Dogfish Head Brewing . Each brewery collaborated on this beer at Stone in California, and took the recipe home to brew and label under their own packaging. This Victory Brewing edition has arrived first. Still working on verifying if the Dogfish and Stone editions will hit the city. Read more for the whole story.
Style: Saison
