As spring time is in full swing, Burial Beer Co. celebrates an inspirational style of beer. Saison, translating to “season” in french, was historically brewed for the farmer to drink after a hard days work.
Not only do Burial Beer Co. feel a connection to the farm aspect but they also find the saison to be the perfect base beer to showcase different yeast strains, hops and other adjuncts.
Once a year, Burial gathers saisons from breweries across North Carolina to showcase in their taproom at 40 Collier Ave. They want to give beer drinkers a chance to explore a specific beer style and experience the talent in our beer community.
On May 2nd at noon, Burial Beer Co. are hosting 28 breweries and their creative expressions of a saison. The event is not ticketed but commemorative event glassware (a 6oz tulip glass that you keep) and Beer tickets will be sold a la carte.
One ticket will get you a full pour in your glass. This way you can customize your own event! There will be several pouring areas.
Live Music from local legends the hermit kings and octopus jones as well as Gold Light from South Carolina starting at 4PM until 7:30PM.
Elliot Moss of Buxton Hall Barbecue (set to open later this spring) will be on site cooking and selling some delicious barbecue starting at 1PM.
