Created for the 2020 Plow to Pint Brew Off and brewed with local peppermint flower from our old pals at Rayburn Farm. This Saison showcases a bright and complex flavor profile. Along with peppermint we used key limes, black peppercorn and pomegranates and fermented with a classic Saison yeast creating a lovely and layered beer.
In honor of National Comedy Month (April), Asheville Brewing is showing a series of classic comedies combined with special, small batch beer releases to provide the perfect drinking accompaniment for each movie.
In conjunction with the special showing of the cult classic, Napoleon Dynamite, Asheville Brewing will release a special beer, Tater Tart Saison. The movie will take place at our Merrimon Avenue movie theater on Thursday, April 27, at 7 p.m. The beer will be released on draft the same day at 5 p.m. at our downtown and north locations.
Tater Tart Saison is brewed with a Belgian yeast blend and a gentle malt bill of Pilsner, Vienna, and flaked wheat. It’s hopped with Centennial, Lemondrop, and Citra and then dry-hopped with Nelson Sauvin giving it a complex yet delicate aroma.
“This beer has a nice balance between tart, a touch of belgian character and delicious hoppiness,” says Asheville Brewing head brewer Pete Langheinrich. “There’s just enough pucker.”
