    Apart from Saison Dupont, what are some favorites that are regularly available on shelves?

    Sofie. Ages nicely, but drinks great fresh as well. Also, for ~60 a case it's hard to beat.

    Ommegang Hennepin, GD Colette and, if the Bruery's distribution counts as being wide, Saison Rue.

    Easy - Hennepin

    Edit: Also throw in Jack D'or, at least for MA

    I think it's hard to top Tank 7, assuming that's widely available but not positive

    I won't merge your thread with this one, since you're asking specifically about saisons in wide-distribution, but you'll find lots of good suggestions in it.

    Foret from Dupont. I prefer it to Dupont's other offerings. Not sure where the poor ratings came from. Also Saison D'erpe-Mere.

    Tank 7 and Sofie so good. So affordable.

    Colette is great, so is Tank 7 (but 8.5% is strong). Those are common saisons I see a lot that I've had and really enjoy.

    Moinette Blonde from Dupont is my favorite in their lineup, I much prefer it over Vieille Provision. Although it is not listed as a saison on BA (probably due to the high ABV), it uses the Dupont house yeast and definitely classifies as a saison in my book.

    I've been buying lots of Tank 7 since it tends to be really affordable and is a beautiful beer. Also liking Stillwater Cellar Door when craving something with spice since the sage works well in it. Just tried a Colette since Great Divide is starting to show up again in Central VA, and it was nice with some good sour undertones.
