Similar to a Hefeweizen, these southern Germany wheat beers are brewed as darker versions (Dunkel means "dark") with deliciously complex malts and a low balancing bitterness. The color is a cloudy (unfiltered) medium brown with the usual clove and fruity (banana) character, which comes from the yeast.

Kurt's Farmhouse Saison : Friday 9/12
When Brewmaster Todd Marcus was approached by Ted Lowrie, President of the Board of Trustees of the Sturgis Library, to somehow participate in the upcoming Columbus Day weekend Vonnegut Celebration, the idea of special beer quickly came to mind. Together with the brew crew and the library staff, brainstorming began on a name and beer style. This of course is never as easy as it sounds, and dozens of names were suggested. Given that Vonnegut was captured during the Battle of the Bulge in the Wallonia region of Belgium where Saisons are most famous, the style seemed perfectly appropriate. His capture led to the writing of one of his most famous works: Slaughterhouse-Five. This, combined with a candid photo provided by Vonnegut's daughter showing Kurt relaxing in front of a barn house door on Scudders Lane, led to a moment of clarity and Kurt's Farmhouse Saison was born.
Saisons are a complex style of beer traditionally brewed in the winter and stored for the farm hands to drink over the summer and harvest months. They tend to be fruity or spicy but not sweet and have a have a slight earthy yeast tone to them. Our interpretation of this famous style is dry and tart with some fruity spicy overtones and pronounced lemon characteristics that comes from the French Aramis Hops
.
OG: 12.2 °P (1.049SG) ABV: 5.5% IBUs: 18
Malts: German Pilsner, English Wheat and German Vienna Hops: Domestic - French Aramis - 2 additions
Food Pairing: The complex blend of yeasty fruit and spice complements a wide range of dishes from spicy Asian and Middle-Eastern to grilled red meat.
