Hey, fellow beer enthusiasts, I’ve got an exciting exclusive brew to share with you – OMMEGEDDON WEST Brett Saison Ale, a delightful collaboration between Brewery Ommegang and the Brewmaster’s Collective. But here’s the catch – this gem is only available to members of the “Brewmaster’s Collective” Beer Club by Firestone Brewing Company.
As part of Batch No: 1, this unique beer started as their take on Ommegang’s classic Hennepin Saison, but they added their own twist to it. Brewed at the Propagator R&D Brewhouse, OMMEGEDDON WEST was fermented with Ommegang’s house Belgian yeast strain and spiced with grains of paradise, coriander, orange zest, and ginger.
To enhance its character, they sent it to Barreworks for a secondary fermentation of six weeks in French Oak barrels, using the Beersel Brett (Brettanomyces) Blend yeast. The result? An exceptionally refreshing, slightly funky rendition of the beloved Hennepin.
Its pale golden appearance with white foam is inviting, while the aroma boasts apricot, citrus, grapefruit, peach, and orange juice notes, perfectly paired with classic Saison character.
When you take that first sip, you’ll experience medium-low tartness beautifully balanced with a slight bitterness. The mouthfeel is dry with subtle alcohol warmth and medium-high carbonation, creating a truly satisfying drinking experience.
As for food pairings, OMMEGEDDON WEST shines alongside Chicken Schnitzel, Raw Oysters with mignonette, or a flavorful Pork Bahn Mi.
[alert type=white ]Fun fact – Brewery Ommegang, Boulevard Brewing and Firestone Walker Brewing are all US-based sister breweries, part of the Duvel Moortgat family since 2015. Being part of this Belgian family-owned brewing group has brought them incredible opportunities, and they’re thrilled to share their craft with the world.[/alert]
With only 125 cases produced, this brew is a true gem for the members of the “Brewmaster’s Collective” Beer Club by Firestone Brewing Company. If you’re a fan of Saison with a twist, OMMEGEDDON WEST is a must-try. Cheers to great collaborations and unforgettable flavors! ?
