Birds of a Feather by Dageraad Brewing (collab w/ Strange Fellows Brewing)

Saison • 6.9% ABV • 25 IBU • 750 mL bottles

The old world saison gets a twist from B.C.’s resident Belgophiles, Dageraad and Strange Fellows. Fermented with a classic French saison yeast and spiced with sage and cubeb berries, then dry-hopped with European hops. “Brightly herbal with fruity esters and a spicy, peppery aftertaste, Birds of a Feather is an expression of our two breweries’ love of farmhouse ales.”
