Charlie
Delicate, with a hint of funk and herbal, citrusy notes that linger. This low-alcohol Farmstead ale is hopped with Mosaic and Simcoe, brewed with Farmstead ale yeast and aged in foudre, at 2.0% in the bottle and 1.7% on draft. Charlie was a golden retriever and faithful companion who, in rain, snow or sunshine, ambled across the field from his house to the brewery.

What is a Saison?
Saisons are Belgian farmhouse ales with 5–8% ABV and IBU 20–35. Spicy, fruity yeast — pepper, citrus, hay — with high carbonation and a dry refreshing finish.
