    Big fan of saisons on the table for Thanksgiving. I'm bringing Saison Dupont and Cuvee Dry Hopped Saison Dupont. Great Divide's Collette would be an affordable alternative maybe? God, I cannot wait for tomorrow. What a great holiday for food and beer pairings.....

    How about Magic Hat's Seance? I know it isn't as great, but more affordable. Is it a bad choice?

    That's your call my friend. I typically run from anything MH. But I'm a pricky beer snob....if you're looking to introduce some family/friends to beer at the table vs. wine or domestic beer, yeah, maybe Seance would be in your wheelhouse.

    Seance is really bad, man. That isn't going to satisfy anyone.

    Sly Fox Saison Vos - local, cheap, tasty, high drinkability.

    Also, I'm new to all of this, but these saisons sound a lot like witbiers, no? How would Allagash White go with T-giving?

    If I'm ever debating what to get for a group of people, particularly if they aren't all craft beer fans, I usually go with Long Trail Ale. It's approachable by all and one of the more affordable craft beers. Long Trail mix cases are always good too.

    I'm bringing SN Celebration. It's affordable and delicious. Also bringing a bomber of Ballast Point Victory at Sea Coffee Vanilla Porter for me and the mrs.

    Why do people often talk about introducing people to craft beer by giving them the crap stuff? Why not introcude them to craft beer with something good? How about some Hennepin?

    We're having La Chouffe with our vegetarian bratwurst for Thanksgiving.

    Sorry for the delay.Well RKP1967, I took your suggestion and WOW. I really loved the Ommegang Hennepin. In fact, I have loved most everything Ommegang puts out. Thanks for the help!!
