For the third year in a row, we’re hosting our international tasting festival Winter Affair, and just as long we’ve been brewing collaboration beers with some of the participating breweries. It’s a uniqueopportunity to get to know each other better, share insights, and combine our brewing know-how. Beers brewed as part of the Winter Affair Gossip series are the result of these meetings – blending brewing cultures, unique recipes and a shared love for craft across borders and continents. One of this year’s guests was the Tuscan brewery Cantina Errante, a standout on the Italian spontaneous fermentation scene. Together, we created a modern saison built on a blend of two distinctive yeast strains – Farmhouse Vibes and Saccharomyces “Bruxellensis” Trois. The first brings the dry, spicy character of a classic saison, while the second is known for producing complex fruity esters and subtle funky notes without the full-on wildness of Brett. The result is an elegant, dry, and highly drinkable beer with notes of white pepper, stone fruit, and light floral freshness. Saaz Shine hops support the clean fermentation profile with a touch of delicate herbal character.
