Crooked Stave Vielle

Artisanal Saison Translated from French as “old-tradition”, Vieille is our barrel-aged classical Saison. Using time-honoured techniques, our saisons employ traditional methods to restore complexity and the rustic character lost in modern-day Saison. Saisons were the original wild ales, brewed for the farmhands to be a refreshing and sustaining beverage. Each batch of Vieille takes on a soft Brettanomyces character and a complex acidity while conditioning in our large oak foeders. After conditioning in oak, we lightly dry hop the beer to finish it, lending a subtle citrusy hop aroma. Leading with lemon and lime citrusy hop notes, a subtle herbal spice, and a crisp tart finish, Vieille’s character epitomizes artisan Saison.
