Peak Organic & The City Bakery Collaborate on Holiday Saison
11 Dec 2015 --- Peak and The City Bakery are thrilled to announce the release of their annual holiday collaboration, the Holiday Saison.
Both Peak and The City Bakery have their ethos rooted in a passion for using the finest quality ingredients to create the freshest and most flavorful products. With that shared passion as the centerpiece for their collaboration beer – a dark malted, spiced Saison brewed with a blend of The City Bakery’s famous holiday spices – the two companies hope to showcase an amazingly flavorful, complex sensory experience. It’s the perfect beer for the Holiday Season.
The Holiday Saison features dark-malted wheat from local farms that provides a brisk, but roasty backbone for this Belgian style. A slight hint of clove and bubblegum from Peak’s saison yeast lines the notes of caramel sweetness from the malt. But the highlight of the beer is the blend of dried ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice that bursts from the beer’s aroma and adds delicious hints of sweetness and spice on top of the roasty, brisk body of the beer. This spice blend is a signature of The City Bakery, and is used in such famous baked goods as their Gingerbread Cookies and their Deep Dish Pumpkin Pie, items that City Bakery loyalists line up for blocks to indulge in each Holiday season.
The Holiday Saison was released nationwide on December 8th, 2015. The beer will be available on draft and in 6-packs through the Holiday season.
