    You can throw a rock at a shelf of Crooked Stave Saisons and hit something that will make you very happy.

    Logsdon Seizoen Bretta - a must try - still have to try the peach version people are talking about.
    Any Tired Hands blended saisons - if you're in the area
    You can't go wrong with Prairie Somewhere. I always kick back with a few of these every release.

    Crooked stave surette was really good too.

    I love GI Sofie. If you have a chance to drink grapefruit Sofie on draft, DO IT. Amazing.

    Also a big fan of Cambridge Brewing Co's Sgt. Pepper.

    Allagash Saison, Stillwater Stateside Saison, Stillwater Cellar Door, aged Goose Island Sofie (preferably 18 months or more), Goose Island Halia. Boulevard Saison-Brett is pretty good too.

    Stillwater stuff was what got me into saisons, now I'm hooked.

    Prairie Standard if you like a tart saison, Red Bard by Lost Abbey if you like a more estery one.

    Surette is incredible. Allagash and Sofie are both great everyday saisons.

    Goose Island Sofie and Hill Farmstead Arthur are the best that I have tasted.

    Try reaching out for Transmitter Brewing Co's saisons, I think they're absolutely delicious. Prairie's Birra is one of my favorites and you cannot go wrong with Ommegang's Hennepin.

    Totally forgot Jolly Pumpkin Bam Biere, Weizen Bam and Oro de Calabaza (it's basically a saison, regardless how it's categorized here).

    I've always said I don't like Saisons, but apparently I've just never had a good one until last night.

    Had a Hill Farmstead Arthur...and it was amazing.

    Gotta go with the comment above of the Boulevard Saison Brett. But I also haven't had to many to be a great judge.

    Also - Pipeworks Citra Saison was really damn good.

    Some pretty easy ones to get a hold of that I find to be excellent:
    Boulevard Tank 7
    Brooklyn Sorachi Ace
    Great Divide Colette
    Ommegang Hennepin
    Stillwater Cellar Door

    Allagash Interlude is an awesome beer as well.

    Upright also makes quite a few Saisons, though I have yet to enjoy one.

    Hill Farmstead Arthur really raised the bar for a sour saison. In terms of easy shelf availability in most locales, Boulevard's Tank 7 and Saison Brett are top notch.
