Hop BroBreaking news: Yokohama Beer Brewery is releasing a new Yokohama Saison on April 1!
MugiWhoa! A spring release! I know the name saison, but what kind of style is it?
Hop BroSaison comes from the French word for “season,” and back in the day it was a light, traditional ale that farmers drank between chores.
MugiHuh! But that “Krush” mentioned in the article sounds like some mysterious hop vibe from a game special move!
