Provision
Provision is a masterful mixed-fermentation farmhouse ale from Burning Sky Brewery in rural Firle, East Sussex. This West Sussex craft house ages the beer in oak vessels using a trinity of cultures — saison yeast, brettanomyces, and lactobacillus — to coax out remarkable complexity. It pours a hazy, pale golden straw with a delicate, ephemeral head. The aroma drifts between lemon zest, hay, white pepper, and a whisper of barnyard funk. On the palate it is tart, crisp, and gently sour, with bright citric acidity giving way to earthy brett character and subtle oak tannins. At 6.7% ABV, the finish is dry, refreshing, and lingering — a beautifully crafted expression of the traditional farmhouse tradition reimagined through a distinctly British lens.
