About This Beer
O Brother Brewing Year Of The Plenty Saison is a refreshing, modern take on the farmhouse ale tradition, brewed in Co. Wicklow by one of Ireland’s most respected independent breweries. This 6% saison is crafted with expressive Belgian yeast, bright citrus notes and a softly spiced finish, offering a lively and complex experience that remains incredibly drinkable. For anyone exploring craft beer Ireland and looking for something with both character and balance, this is an excellent choice. Naturally fruity, lightly peppery and beautifully dry, it showcases everything people love about saison as a beer style.
Saisons are traditionally farmhouse ales brewed to be versatile, refreshing and full of yeast-driven complexity. Year Of The Plenty embraces that heritage while bringing a cleaner, modern freshness to the glass. The soft haze, vibrant carbonation and subtle tart edge make this a perfect food-friendly beer. If you love aromatic beers with depth, you can explore similar sessionable yet complex brews through our Other Beer Styles collection, where farmhouse ales and hybrids sit alongside rare and seasonal releases.
