Boundary Bay introduces the third beer in their Galbraith Mountain Series, Not Shawn’s Saison. Named after the Galbraith Mt. trails, (located between Bellingham, WA and Sudden Valley), the series intends to capture a taste of the great outdoors & the adventurous spirit of the PNW!
The first two brews, Cedar Dust IPA and Lost Giants Imperial CDA, were standouts that left taps as quickly as they arrived…and Boundary has no plans of stopping. Third in the series, Not Shawn’s Saison, hit taps on January 31st and is proving to be just as popular as the first two brews. Here’s what Boundary Bay brewer, Bryan Krueger, had to say about Not Shawn’s;
In the style of a traditional Belgian, Farmhouse Saison, “Not Shawn’s Saison” is a balanced, dry, crisp, and memorable beer. At 6% ABV, it is a truly sessionable ale. It is brite as crystal and a mellow, golden-orange color and is never filtered. We gave this brew a little extra time and cellar-love to allow for the lemon, bubblegum, and melon aromas and superbly balanced, continental malt characters to fully develop. Styrian Golding noble hops harmonize incredibly well with the biscuit and grain flavors from pilsner malt. With a slight tang and just a touch of spicy rye malt and lemony citrus notes from New Zealand Pacific Gem Hops, this beer is complex, smooth, and refreshing – and leaves you wanting another! Let it warm a little in the glass to release even more of Not Shawn’s special aromas and flavors. You’d never know you aren’t in Brussels… “Sante!”
Look out for Galbraith #4 – Wonderland Belgian Strong Golden! Expected to hit taps in late February, early March.
