Chinese New Year is almost here, which means time for toasting with friends, family and colleagues to a lucky Year of the Rat ahead. To help you stay extra lucky, we’re releasing Hawthorn Saison on January 21 at Beersmith. This tart saison has a malty flavour that’s brightened up by the addition of Hawthorn, the sweet snack you’ll find all over the streets of Beijing. Brewed with special Belgian yeast, the Hawthorn Saison has a hint of fruitiness and subtle peppery notes.
