When loads of plump juicy raspberries step in to meet our first-ever grisette, little did we realize the path our beer would take. 50 Shades of Grisette is as enigmatic as it is delicious. We plunged headlong into this old-style of beer, and learned the grisette's true flavourful proclivities when paired with berries. The result pushes the boundaries of pure palate pleasure. Where Belgian saisons developed as restorative beverages for tired farmhands working the fields, the grisette was brewed to quench the thirst of those working in the mines. The name grisette literally means "little gray" and refers to either the gray stone that the miners dug through, or the gray-dressed women who served the ale. Light in body and low in alcohol, this grisette is a little bit of naughty and a whole lot of nice. Brisk, tart, light and dry, the ingredients used have come together in a true climax of bright and refreshing qualities, yet still has a complex flavor that is easy to drink. Perfect pairs include moules frittes or a nice, soft cheese, but is a welcome three-some to charcuterie.
