Pepper Season

The portrait

This is our modern take on the farmhouse tradition, but with our trademark rebellious twist. Pepper Season is our take on a classic with a twist.

Pepper isn't just a seasoning here—it's a protagonist in its own right. It interacts with the saison yeast in a complex dance where the spice reveals unsuspected facets of the flavor profile. The result? A beer that subtly tingles the taste buds while retaining the thirst-quenching freshness so characteristic of the style.

Simple and effective, as one knowledgeable enthusiast pointed out. This creation reminds us that innovation doesn't necessarily mean complication—sometimes, all it takes is one well-mastered ingredient to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

The story

La Saison Au Poivre is part of our approach to exploring spices as vectors of brewing expression. We wanted to revisit this style, historically linked to agricultural work, by bringing a contemporary signature to it.

Adding pepper to a saison is no small feat—you have to find the perfect dosage so that the spice enhances rather than masks. It's a balancing act: revealing complexity without ever falling into overbearing excess. This beer demonstrates our ability to respect traditional codes while infusing them with our own unique vision.

Food and beer pairings

This spicy season excels with fresh herby goat cheeses , where the pepper echoes the vegetal notes. Try it with an onion and bacon tarte flambée —the alchemy works instantly. Mediterranean dishes also work well: ratatouille, black olive tapenade, or even a simple beef carpaccio with Parmesan and olive oil. The thirst-quenching nature of the season cleanses the palate while the pepper amplifies the flavors.

The final word

La Saison Au Poivre has become part of our brewing memories, but its legacy lives on in our approach to spices. It taught us that a single, well-mastered ingredient can radically transform the taste experience. This creation perfectly embodied our philosophy: respecting tradition while daring to shake it up slightly. For those who have savored it, it remains proof that elegance and audacity can perfectly coexist in the same glass.

Cheers! 🍻
