Think Beyond a Classic Saison with Appalachian Brewing Company’s New Fruitful Collaboration with The Vegetable Hunter
Excitement is brewing as Appalachian Brewing Company and The Vegetable Hunter announce their upcoming collaboration beer, Beyond Beer Brambleberry Saison. This captivating creation is the result of a delightful partnership between visionary teams at two innovative local establishments, who joined forces to craft something truly extraordinary.
Beyond Beer Brambleberry Saison enchants with its delicate pink hue and lively carbonation, offering a visually enticing and refreshing appearance. The brewers at ABC skillfully harnessed the potential of a selected Belgian yeast to achieve a remarkably dry finish, honoring the traditional Saison style. With distinctly earthy notes and a warm clove-like spice, this brew exudes sophistication and charm, making it a standout among beer connoisseurs.
To add a delightful twist to this already exceptional brew, Beyond Beer Saison was conditioned on pounds of blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries. This infusion of fruits brings a subtle sweetness, elevating the flavor profile to new heights and leaving beer enthusiasts eager to savor each intricate sip.
The name “Beyond Beer” was aptly chosen to honor The Vegetable Hunter’s vegan roots, playfully referencing the Beyond Burger—a beloved plant-based meat substitute. With Beyond Beer Brambleberry Saison, both ABC and The Vegetable Hunter are breaking new ground, showcasing their shared passion for innovation and craftsmanship.
“This Saison-style beer was brewed at ABC’s Mechanicsburg location with the help of our friends at The Vegetable Hunter,” says Bruce Tanner, head Brewmaster at ABC, who worked with Rod Hunsinger, one of the key minds behind the collaboration. “We kicked around a few styles, and eventually landed on a Saison style recipe with fruit additions…subtle notes from the fruits results in a beer that we are all very excited about!”
Available now, Beyond Beer Brambleberry Saison will be available for a limited time in the brewpubs. Don’t miss the chance to experience the harmonious fusion of tradition and creativity in a beer that goes “beyond” most classic Saisons.
