Ranch Hand Reserve Saison Release
Hard work deserves a good beer, and we’ve brewed one worthy of the name.
Introducing Ranch Hand Reserve Saison.
This is a crisp, crushable farmhouse-style ale inspired by the grit, sweat, and reward of a long day’s work. Ranch hands are the backbone of the West, putting in the hours to keep things running and this brew is our tribute to them. With bright citrus notes, subtle spice, and a dry, refreshing finish, it’s a beer that’s both satisfying and easy to throw back.
So why “Reserve”? Because this one’s special. We took our time crafting the perfect balance of flavor and drinkability. This something worth savoring after a hard day or celebrating with friends.
Releasing March 1st in the Tall City Brewing Taproom!� Also pouring in Austin at the Holdout Brewing Pinvitational – don’t miss it!
