Bretternity - The Skull

Wild, scarce, and wonderfully complex

Brettaninity is an exceptional Grape Saison, where beer and wine meet. Aging in wine barrels gives the beer additional depth, combining the dry, lively character of a Saison with fruity grape notes and a subtle barrel aroma.

The name already reveals the journey: Brettanomyces ensures a distinctive, wild character. Together with the grape fruitiness and aging in wine barrels, a complex beer is created that clearly stands out from classic Pale Ales, IPAs, or Belgian Saisons.

An exciting beer for anyone wanting to discover Wild Ales, Farmhouse Ales, and barrel-aged beers.
