Brouwerij de Glazen Toren Saison d'Erpe-Mere
The Saison was the first beer of the brewery. Saison is a blonde beer brewed according to the ancient Saison tradition of the province of Hainaut. The French sounding name of the beer clearly refers to this. Saison d'Erpe-Mere is brewed exclusively with natural ingredients: artesian water, barley and wheat malts, liquid sugar, hops and yeast. The result is a dry, hoppy, fruity and slightly veiled beer with 7.5 % alc. vol. This saison, unusually for this style, doesn't use any herbs or spices to create its fruity and spicy profile. The combination of spicy hellertaur hops and complex saison yeast is enough to create deep flavors in this refreshing and effervescent beer.

Ah ... barleywine the sweet elixir worthy of a beer god. Brewed throughout Britain as a farmhouse ale unusually enough the term "barley wine" had not been used until early 1900's, most brewers through out medieval to colonial days used other terms like "old," "stock" or "strong" to designate that it was a beer with a high alcoholic strength. This American Barleywine had a HUGE late kettle charge of Mount Hood making a big rich dank drink.

Zebulon Original IPA circa 1850
A historical recreation of IPA as it tasted in India back when England sent extra hoppy pale ale to its colonists. Aged for a full year in oak barrels with Brettanomyces before we dry hopped and kegged it. Brewed with a massive 160 IBUs of traditional East Kent Goldings and the finest Maris Otter malt. Aromas of sandalwood and spice from the Brett with the marmalade character of the EKG dry hops. The massive hopping has been tamed by time and is now delightfully balanced with mouth coating hop resin without being bitter. Just a beautiful beer.
