From Outer Light Brewing:
Though officially dubbed “The Constitution State,” Connecticut long has been known by another nickname, “The Nutmeg State.” In the 1800s, Yankees regularly sold nutmeg seed to the South. According to legend, because either some nefarious folk blended in faux “wooden nutmeg” with the real nutmeg or because Southerners did not know how to grate the hard foreign seed properly, the South felt gypped in the transactions. Connecticut’s unofficial moniker was born.
At Outer Light Brewing Company, we believe in beer as a peacemaker, a beverage providing a commonality of interests to facilitate collaboration and compromise. With that idea in mind, we brewed Nutmeg State Saison.
Nutmeg State Saison blends freshly grated nutmeg with a hint of juicy peaches, a delectable culinary pairing and a nod to fellow Americans both north and south of the Mason Dixon line. Utilizing fruity Belgian farmhouse yeast and bready English malt, Nutmeg State Saison serves up a smooth blend of warm flavors that is both complex and balanced. Lightly hopped with an experimental hop blend called Fantasia and moderate in alcohol content, we anticipate sipping this OLBC Shoreline Series brew on our porches as we welcome the spring season.
