Literary Elixirs - La Sirene Brewing Co.
b'
It was the hottest of hot days when I headed out to La Sirene Brewery in the suburb of Alphington to chat with brewery ambassador Will Macdonald. We spoke about the philosophy behind being a modern day Farmhouse brewer, Wild Ales as a house style and the importance of microflora in an open-fermentation brewery.
\\nThe beers and the books:
\\nSaisonette - light, spicy, fresh, dry, tart
\\nThe Flatshare by Beth O\\u2019Leary
\\nLight and fluffy romance on the surface but with surprising depth and freshness.
\\nParadoxe - lively, refreshing, tropical, creamy
\\nThe seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

\\nFarmhouse Red - malt, rose, hibiscus, fruit, sweet, floral, bitter
