Je Peux Voir Des Miles

We dedicate our newest beer to Miles Davis—not the transcendent jazz trumpeter, but the cat of Niko Krommydas, a local beer writer and our good friend.

This is a bittersweet collaboration for Niko. Miles recently lost a hard-fought battle with cancer, so what was initially only a sequel to Niko Weisse, a beer we made together in 2014, also became a way for us to honor the memory of a brave soul.

Je Peux Voir des Miles, which translates to "I can see for Miles," is a saison brewed with pilsner and wheat malts. Strisselspalt hops from the Alsace region of France lend a slightly floral flavor, while a Belgian yeast strain from a very well-known saison brewer produces a traditional dry finish with notes of black pepper. After brewing, the final step was an aging time of 10 months in Chardonnay barrels with Brettanomyces Bruxellensis, a wild yeast that adds a farmhouse aroma and elegantly tart finish.

We hope that you enjoy drinking this beer as much as we enjoyed making it with Niko.

This brew's for you, Miles! Cheers! Show Less
