Video Review – Lomaland Saison from Modern Times

Modern Times gets the beer review spotlight for January 2014 and we start with their Lomaland Saison…..

Here is the brewery description of the beer, “Lomaland is an earthy, rustic Belgian-style farmhouse ale that’s both complex and quaffable. It smells like hay, pepper, and friendly sunshine. Its dry, cracker-like body and lightly-hoppy finish makes it a beautiful compliment to food. We named Lomaland after the brilliantly crazy utopian community that was the first settlement built in Point Loma, the San Diego neighborhood where our fermentorium is located.”

A Thoroughly Modern design

modern-times-640Now Modern Times isn’t selling up in LA yet but if I saw these cans on a shelf tomorrow.  I would stop and take a closer look.  They give off a combination Mad Men meets right now vibe with a dash of old time NFL jersey look to them.

But this brewery is more than just catchy designs.  They have landed some great talent from Lost Coast, Monkey Paw and Ballast Point to brew, run the tasting room and handle the barrels. This puts this brewery on my San Diego must visit list along with Societe.

And if you want to see Modern Times on your local beer seller’s shelves then head over to their Kickstarter page and pitch in!
