Sake Bomb Rice Saison

February 7th, 2015

Iron Brewer 2015 is upon us. It’s an awesome event that goes down annually at Tin Roof Brewery. Iron Brewer is organized and executed by my fellow homebrew club members at Brasseurs a la Maison. 2015 is special because it features participation from Redstick Homebrew Club, Dead Yeast Society, Good Time Brewers and LA Homebrew. Date is February 28th.

My team ended up with rice this year. We had good ideas earlier about brewing our own sake and stuff like that but we never really got on the ball. Rice in a saison should produce a nice crisp beer though! So we’re going with a sure to be a crowd pleaser.
