Tom Wilmes profiled Kyle Hollingsworth in Issue 2 (Summer 2014) of _Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine®. _Hollingsworth graciously shared with us this recipe for his birthday brew.

Notes On Kyle’s Recipe From Steven Pauwels (Boulevard Brewmaster / Creator of Tank 7)
A recipe by Kyle Hollingsworth? Now you’ve got me all star struck! I haven’t tried this yeast blend, but I like saisons with a bit of Brett funk. Saison with a good portion of Amarillo dry hops and Brett sounds great to me.
Recipe is built to yield a batch size of 5 gallons (19 liters) and assumes 72% brewhouse efficiency.
