Catchment are keen to capture those traditional Christmas flavours and feelings with a couple of keg-only releases, available at Catchment in West End and Fortitude Brewing on Mount Tamborine.
Silly Saison is a mid-strength saison with cherry and star anise. The brewer’s tasting notes describe it thus: “Dark cherries provide a complex fruity undertone that develops as the beer warms in the glass. The high carbonation coupled with the spicy character presented by the yeast combine to provide an exceptional easy-drinking beer.”
Oh Crumbs! is a nitro gingerbread ale with ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg, of which they say: “The experience of nostalgia coupled with those classic gingerbread flavours really make this beer something special. A solid and not too sweet malt base builds to a tasty ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg delight that will both warm the heart and ease your mind. It's a gingerbread house feeling without being overbearing, allowing you to enjoy many with your favourite holiday treats.”
