Saison / Farmhouse

Prairie Standard is our everyday beer. Its a light, crisp saison with a hoppy finish. This beer is dry hopped 1lb per bbl with Motueka hops. A lovely New Zealand hop with a spicy lime like flavor and aroma.

Ale with brettanomyces aged and fermented in oak barrels.

European hopped Session Blonde Farmhouse Ale aged in Chardonnay Barrels for 6 months with Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus.

Brewed in celebration of Lent and Easter season, Carnevale is light bodied Saison, using Brettanomyces along with Amarillo and Simcoe hops to generate flavor and depth. Carnevale’s complexity grows with time. The citrus notes tend to wane and the wild yeast rears its wonderfully tasting head.

La Ruche is a delicate Missouri Saison fermented using a blend of our local microflora and a traditional Saison yeast. Blend #2 is brewed with Alfalfa Honey, fermented with our Native Microflora, aged in Missouri Oak and released in conjunction with the National Honey Beer Summit here in STL.

Saison brewed with Motueka and Saaz hops. Fermented in oak tanks with two strains of Brettanomyces. Aged on black raspberries.

This 2018 Ontario peach WPF variant is the reason that we had to bring in extra employees this past summer, and the culprit for our staff-wide carpal tunnel epidemic (we were dumb enough to de-pit and crush 3000ish lbs of fruit by hand). The good news is, the beers you suffer most through often turn out the best -- and this one is the bestest. Incredibly strong aromatics and flavours of fresh peach compliment an already delicious base beer. The carbonation remains front and centre, holding up the massive stonefruit notes with ease while allowing subtler brett notes to play in the background.

BA Rye Whiskey Sour Farmhouse ale. Batch of 120 bottles.

Prairie-vous Français is a celebration of simple elegance. This farmhouse ale is brewed to be refreshing. We use barley, oats, and wheat to build a foundation for Saaz hops and Brettanomyces bruxellensis to play. You'll find this beer to be slightly tart and a touch hoppy.

Ale brewed with 100% Nelson Sauvin hops. Fermented in oak foudres with brettanomyces and bottle conditioned for natural carbonation.

For this release in the Wood Werks series, we brewed up a base saison that is meant to tend towards the spicier side of the style. The addition of spelt and rye further accentuate this earthy/spicy component. We then laid the beer down in a mix of merlot and cabernet sauvignon barrels for ten months, which will round out the overall character of the beer. The final product will be bready, earthy, and spicy with a luxurious mouthfeel with a hint of vinous character and a splash of color from the wine.

A feeling overcomes, deriving of a most curious perplexity. A rich desire awakens to explore the contents of such delicate loveliness. Upon a deep connection with rounded lips, a bitter sweet complexity enters the soul…and so begins an amorous affair.

Heightened awareness envelopes the senses as the grandeur of such bold character develops. Caramel beauty exhibits itself, sprawling its full body widely upward, bubbling with excitement. Tantalizing effects of peppery bitterness grasps the tongue. Enchantment takes hold as a blanket of citrus slowly unfolds. As in any noteworthy love story, a subtle fruity sweetness of a rose emerges to the finish. A warm contentment grazes over, signifying a united marriage of balance and pleasure.

Fortitude has revealed itself to those who have encountered such an enriching experience. An experience so delectable, so defining, so unequivocal. An experience that is Love's Buzz.

Saison w/ Alaska Blueberries.

Saison brewed with Honey, Malted Oats, and Hallertau Blac hops. Fermented in oak foudres with Brettanomyces and Saison yeast. Bottle conditioned for natural carbonation.

Brewed and bottled by Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales, Dexter, Michigan. A collaboration with Anchorage Brewing Company, this ale is brewed with grapefruit peel, juice, and peppercorns. Oak barrel aged and bottle conditioned. He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.

When introspection fails, it's time to look outward for inspiration, perhaps Northward! One of the people who inspired me this past year is my friend Gabe Fletcher of Anchorage Brewing Co. We brewed this beer together. I hope it inspires you. Northward!

Farmhouse Saison

The new 16oz canned edition is part of our 2017 'Classics Remastered' series.. dry hopped with Simcoe & Nelson Sauvin

Wine barrel-aged mixed fermentation saison brewed with chamomile and peppercorns.

A symbol synonymous with Bellwoods Brewery; our White Picket Fence has undergone a complete overhaul and its repurposed form much better reflects the direction of our brewery. Brewed with the addition of wheat, oats, and rye, WPF is fermented and conditioned in foeders for 6 months, blended with fresh saison, then gently dry-hopped before bottle conditioning. Labour intensive in process, but rewarding in result.

Rye Saison Hallertau Blanc. Blended with White Wine Puncheons.

A straw colored Belgian-style Saison brewed with chamomile flowers. It is fermented with a traditional saison yeast strain that imparts fruity and spicy notes that dovetail perfectly with the tea-like quality of the chamomile. Finishes dry, tart, and refreshing.

We’re happy to announce the release of a brand new beer -- Mr. Mingo, a farmhouse ale with roselle hibiscus. The inspiration was to make a simple beer with a subtle adjunct.

To make Mr. Mingo, we brewed a simple saison with barley and wheat from Blacklands Malt and raw Texas Hill Country water from our onsite well. We added hibiscus flowers at the end of the boil and then later dry hopped with more. In total, we used around 1 pound of hibiscus per barrel.
