Hutwe | Siphon Brewing
ABV: 5.0%
IBU: 36
Style: Farmhouse Ale - Saison
Actively Produced
Description: We teamed up with 'Or Coffee', a Belgian microroastery to produce a Coffee Saison using a coffee variety sourced directly from a small Congolese community washing station called 'Hutwe' in the Virunga National Park. The bright citrus-zest fruitiness of both the coffee and the beer compliment each other, with the Saison’s dryness accentuating the coffee variety’s subtle stone-fruit acidity. To achieve as full an expression of the coffee in the beer as possible, we used it in three different ways: as a raw coffee bean, added in primary fermentation (for ‘green’ flavours); as a roasted bean in the boil (for acridity and bitterness); and as cold brew coffee, in a proportion of 15%, blended in just before bottling (for that stonefruit acidity).
