Our process
Busaba Eathai were looking for a beer to work perfectly alongside their food offering, the beer was not created for drinking on its own, although it does work well like this also. Due to being a food beer the boundaries could be pushed with punchy flavours complimenting the ingredients used in their iconic menu, following a number of trials and tastings a recipe was settled on incorporating classic Thai flavours including lemongrass, tamarind, ginger and lime leaves. All these ingredients work perfectly in a Saison style beer which is effervescent and relatively dry without too much bitterness which would clash with the heat of the cuisine.
