Description
We focus our attention on brewing rustic, unfiltered, aromatic beers that are approachable and unique. We pull from our home brewing background to build beers that pay homage to tradition, but break new ground in American brewing techniques and flavors by blurring the line between beer and wine. We are brewers of big ideas in very small batches.

Bottle. Pours hazy pink, medium off white head, decent lacing. Aroma is cherry, vanilla, kind of artificial. Flaky is light tart, light funk, soda/candy like. Medium body. Gotta agree with vin. The Venn diagram of vanilla and beer should have only stout at its intersection.

On tap at the Portal location. Aroma is fairly funk forward with that classic SARA funk notes of green grapes, apricots, and hints of lemon. Light grain and oak notes with hints of alcohol. A touch of a white wine note. Pours a hazy, golden orange color with a medium small, pillowy, white head that recedes to a small film that lingers. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly acidic with a slight sweetness and light grain notes. Medium bitterness and light alcohol notes. Lots of bright, fruity SARA funk with notes of peaches, apricots, green grapes and a touch of citrus. Light oak and white wine tannins. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, unsurprisingly, a very nice BA saison from SARA. Great funky notes and solid barrel character. A very enjoyable beer.
