Asheville, NC- Something evil’s lurking in the dark at Green Man Brewery. The time is drawing near for the special release of Thriller Saison, only available during the creepiest season of the year. This rustic farmhouse ale bids adieu to the carefree sunshine of Summer and ushers in crisp October nights with the combination of hearty beets and juicy blood orange.
The addition of beets to this traditional Belgian style offers a sanguine hue, attracting both mortal and otherworldly creatures. Generous additions of Amarillo hops complement the zesty blood orange with floral aromas and notes of grapefruit. Spicy, dry characteristics from the Saison yeast dances with earthy beet flavors rendering a distinctive palate. Beware, at 7.7 % this sturdy beer is an easy-drinker that may have you howling at the moon!
This tasty treat is only available once a year, so if you are blood(orange)thirsty be sure to haunt Green Man Brewery on October 14th for your first chance for draft pours and 750 mL bottles. Thriller will be available starting the following week in limited quantities on the shelves at select retailers in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia.
