Good news, homebrewers of all levels: Brooklyn Brew Shop and Brooklyn Brewery are teaming up to bring Sorachi Ace to your kettle. The official Sorachi Ace kit will launch this fall, complete with everything you need to create a one-gallon batch of our classic saison at home.
Sorachi Ace was originally launched as a limited-edition Brewmaster’s Reserve release to showcase the delicious powers of the rare Sorachi Ace hop. The beer rapidly went from one of Brewmaster Garrett Oliver’s curious ideas to attracting a horde of dedicated fans, and it was transformed into a year-round offering. Garrett is excited that homebrewers are getting to “deconstruct one of our favorite creations and see what really makes it tick,” from the clean underpinning of 2-row pilsner malt to the dill-and-lemongrass aromatics unleashed by the final dry hopping dose of Sorachi Ace.
Autumn may seem like a long way off, but we promise it’ll be here before you know it. Clear off your stove-top and get ready to brew your very own batch of Brooklyn Sorachi Ace.
