We first met Troy almost 20 years ago in the legendary hop yard of Moonlight Brewing where a number of us had convened to pick hops and drink pints of Death & Taxes. Since then,Troy has remained a friend and kindred brewing spirit.
In celebration of that lasting friendship and connection, we’ve collaborated on a complex and unique saison made of buckwheat, red wheat, white wheat and a unique combination of our house cultures. The result is an ode to the idea that bonds can survive beyond the passing of time and physical location.
