The next time you reach for a beer, but have calorie intake on your mind, you can’t do much better than a Saison like Vieille Artisanal from Crooked Stave Brewing. Vielle means “old” and is a barrel-aged Saison that is lightly dry hopped and brewed using Brettanomyces — the yeast strain that helped put Crooked Stave on the craft beer map. It’s light, with great floral notes, subtle tartness, and an ABV of only 4.7%.
