Beer Name: Southern Star
Style: Single Hop Saison
ABV: 6.3%
Color: As bright and inviting as a sun-dappled field of, um, something
Cheese Pairing: Gruyere (or Challerhocker)
Food Pairing: Mozzarella sticks tossed in buffalo wing sauce (ideally said sauce would use Pineapple Fresno as its base)
Music Pairing (Jimbo's Choice): "Happy Jack" by Southern Culture on the Skids
Music Pairing (Jared's Choice): "Swamp Child" by Indian Handcrafts
Best Occasion to Drink: while angrily muttering about "the gubbermint"
Brewers' Notes: when we get the chance to take a new hop variety for a spin, we grab the bull by the bracteoles and take 'em for a ride! Anyway, this time around we got to check out a new-to-us South African variety known as Southern Star and we thought it sounded like it would be right at home in a saison, so that's what we did and now you can have some!
