Independence Brewing Co., one of Texas’ original craft breweries, today celebrates its release of Revolución Saison Ale, a limited release ale created specifically to pair with one of the Lone Star State’s favorite foods – tacos.

Revolución Saison Ale is the result of the Austin-based brewery’s partnership with the authors of “The Tacos of Texas,” a book that examines the history and recipes behind the state’s diverse styles of tacos, and their shared vision of brewing the perfect “taco beer.”

“We wanted a beer that is just as complex as a taco and one that would complement the citrus flavors found in carnitas, fajitas marinade or pineapples in tacos al pastor,” said Mando Rayo, co-author of “The Tacos of Texas.”

Dry-hopped with Summit and Strisselspalt hops, Revolución’s crisp, citrusy taste is balanced by the mild esters produced during fermentation that accentuate the herbal flavors in tacos like cumin, coriander, and cilantro. Independence’s saison is brewed with pale malt to be light-bodied and refreshing.

“The idea behind brewing Revolución was to embrace the herbal notes found in a traditional saison while making the beer refreshing enough to drink on a hot summer day. Our saison had to be on the lighter side of the style and really crisp, something that would balance out the spicy elements of tacos,” said Amy Cartwright, co-founder of Independence Brewing Co.

Independence Brewing Co. first previewed Revolución at a launch party in its Austin taproom. During the event, City Councilmember Delia Garza officially declared July 1, 2017 as “Taco Revolución Day” in Austin, Texas.

Revolución Saison Ale (ABV: 5.6 percent) is available now on draft and in six-pack cans throughout Texas.
