Did you know? . . . About Saison Ales

Saison Ales  (also called Farmhouse Ales) are a nearly forgotten style of ale that has seen a recent resurgence in popularity. A Belgian style ale, traditionally lower in alcohol content, these ales tend towards fruity flavors, but a dry and spicy flavors, instead of sweet. As part of the craft brew movement, you might not be able to find a Saison in your local grocery store. But work seeking out!  An article in Beer Advocate compares several available on the market.

As we leave summer, we transition to heavier ales, fuller red wines, and heartier food. Saison Ales are a drink that remind of us summer and hotter days. Enjoy!
