Saison is a farmhouse style ale that originated in the southern part of Belgium and would be served to farm hands as they helped in the field during harvest time. To honor the working tradition of Saison, we named it after Boxer, the horse who represented the working class in George Orwell's "Animal Farm." Although the ABV is a bit higher than what you'd find in the field, it uses traditional Belgian and German malts with a touch of rye, along with Savinski Goldings and Hallertau hops.
