Sara Brune | Brasserie de Silenrieux
ABV: 6.0%
Style: Specialty Grain
Actively Produced
Description: NOTE: This is the Brune version of Sara, there is also a Blonde version, but the bottle does not clearly state which it is. Buckwheat, the black grain, called Sarrasin in French and Grikki in Russian, is a very common grain in Southern Europe and in Russia. These names let us believe that the grain originally came from the Middle East, and was introduced in Europe by the Greek. Buckwheat is a grain that grows fast (ripe in less than three months) and grows on poor land: Buckwheat offers extremely good food value, and has been known for thousands of years to restore unbalanced digestive systems, and help lower blood pressure. Pharmaceutical companies used substances of Buckwheat to develop their blood pressure lowering drugs. During WW II, in many parts of Europe, farmers switched to buckwheat, since wheat, oats and barley had to be sold to the German army. Buckwheat is cooked like rice, and many cultures bake cookies, pancakes and bread with a mixture of wheat and buckwheat. SARA has a dark colour, is well hopped and spicy at the same time, with a dense head. A hearthy refreshing exclusive new taste, and rare aroma, prove that buckwheat made its impact in the brew kettle. Indeed, up to 50% of the grain used is unmalted buckwheat, the rest is barley malt. SARA is kept at 6% alc. by vol., which makes it a thirst quenching, drinking beer. The adventuroous flavour of the beer makes it an ideal companion with hearty dishes and exotic flavorful meals.
