The 18th amendment of the United States Constitution effectively established the prohibition of alcoholic beverages in the United States by declaring illegal the production, transport and sale of alcohol (though not the consumption or private possession).

The 21st amendment to the United States Constitution repealed the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which had mandated nationwide Prohibition on alcohol on January 17, 1920.

These foundational beers showcase our quest for elegant tartness, vibrant carbonation and delicate finish, and, in our opinion, represent the common ground between an “old world” and a “new world” saison: Farmstead® Ales. Because these beers continue to evolve over the course of 3 or 4 years, we have gone to great lengths to condition the beers in advance of your purchase. It is not uncommon to see these naturally carbonated beers released after 3 to 8 months of maturation. We suggest consuming them within 4 years.
