REVIEW: Grassroots/ Anchorage Arctic Saison


Taking a brief break from the fall seasonals today to check out a pretty interesting one today. There are times when a beer seems to just beckon to you from across the liquor store. That was the case with this striking blue-green bottle. I was at the Beer Trappe not too long ago enjoying a brew when I saw this one, a collaboration beer between two breweries that are new to me. Anchorage Alaska's eponymous Anchorage Brewing and Grassroots Brewing out of Greensboro Bend, Vermont. Grassroots a bit of a side project for Hill Farmstead Brewery. Hill Farmstead is widely lauded as one of the best breweries in the world. Hell, Shaun Hill was profiled in Vanity Fair. Vanity freaking Fair! Wild. But anyways, the beer, Arctic Saison is aged in oak tanks with Brettanomyces.  Sounds delightful, doesn't it! To the beer!
