    What are some saisons with a generous dose of brett? I've had Boulevard Saison Brett, I'm aware of Anchorage Love Buzz, and I have a bottle of Logsdons Seizoen Bretta in the cellar, but what are some other good examples? A favorite style for me.

    Bruery Saison de Lente, and Saison Rue.

    Not a saison, but you might enjoy Rayon Vert by Green Flash.

    I recently had Saison Rue for the first time and loved it.

    That Logsdon Seizoen Bretta is one of the best beers I have ever tasted.

    Peche n Brett, Civil Disobedience 5, Juicy, Boulevard Saison Brett, and Block 15 Tropical Storm are some of my favorites of this style.

    You would be well served to search out Saint Somewhere from Tarpon Springs Florida. They are farmhouse and Saison specialists, all beers spontaneously fermented, many they hit with a dose of Brett at bottling. Try Athene or Lecto Divina if you can find them.

    Jolly Pumpkin Bam Biere

    Low-ish 4.5% abv, big brett aroma and a little lacto sourness. Elegant beer.

    That's because Saison Rue doesn't have Brett in it. I don't think Lost Abbey Carnevale does either.

    I stand corrected; Tomme Arthur notes the Lost Abbey Carnevale does have brettanomyces.

    Saison Rue is brewed with Rye and Brett. As you said Carnevale is brewed with it was well

    Saison Rue does have brett. Says so right on the front label: "Brewed with rye and brettanomyces".

    (Edit: Looks like Nectar got there a few seconds ahead of me.)

    Fantome has several Saisons with Brett, intentionally or by "happy accident".
