Collaboration Series 13: Cuvée des Simples

A collaboration with Brasserie du Mont Saleve on a Saison with gin and tonic inspired flavours. It all began by brewing with the yeast strain Yorkshire Square and an infusion of gin botanicals and cucumber. The result, Yorkshire Blanc, was stored in oak barrels that had most recently held London Dry Gin. The rich and varied history of the barrels translates into a multi-faceted flavour profile – botanicals in harmony with white wine character and a discernible oak finish. While Simples translates as ‘herbs with botanical flavours,’ this is a beer with lots of complexity.
