About this beer

Buoy Beer’s Foeder Series Batch 1 is a complex Brett Saison Ale, clocking in at 5.6% ABV. Crafted with a blend of three saisons, the beer boasts rustic malts steeped with citrus peel and layered with Meridian hops, then aged for 10 months in foeder with mixed cultures and Oregon-grown Starvation Alley Cranberries. This lengthy conditioning imparts a distinct tartness and funk, complementing the bright citrus and subtle malt backbone. The label features striking artwork by Ashley Montague, depicting a stylized blue heron’s head against a teal and black backdrop, evoking the coastal environment of Astoria, Oregon where the beer is brewed.

The beer itself is presented as a 1 pint (9.5 fl. oz/ 500mL) offering, and the label includes standard government warnings regarding alcohol consumption. It contains 16 IBUs, signaling a moderate hop presence that plays a supportive role to the more prominent saison flavors and cranberry tartness. This particular brew is explicitly identified as containing Brettanomyces—a wild yeast—which contributes to its complex aroma and flavor profile.
