A Note on This Beer
Google turns up two definitions for “Grisette.” One is a 17th Century French working-class woman who often wore gray. The other is a refreshing, Saison-like Farmhouse Ale originating in the mining regions of France and Belgium.
Guess which one we have for you today? That's right, it's a 1600s era gray-clad... wait, no, it's the beer! Today’s Raspberry Minette Grisette comes from the brewery Forbes and Wine Magazine praised for their exemplary Sour skills.
Flexing the very brewing prowess that earned them that praise, Crane Brewing aged Raspberry Minette in oak barrels with juicy doses of more than 220 lbs of real raspberries per batch! Each sip swirls with tangy-sweet berry flavors, backed with a whisper of oak and delectable notes of barnyard funk.
The original Grisette style served as an end-of-day delight for folks who spent all day working in mines. Though you don’t have to spend hours toiling away underground to enjoy today’s lightly tangy 8% ABV rendition — Minette is sure to quench after any kind of long day!
Just grab it quickly. We only have 191 bottles of this berry-filled Grisette!
