Recipe: Beachwood El Verano Saison

From Beachwood Brewing in Los Angeles, El Verano is a traditional Belgian-style saison with a multigrain twist. This beer won bronze at the Great American Beer Festival in 2012, the brewery’s first year in operation—and Beachwood has taken home at least one GABF medal every year since.
