Your Favorite Saisons

No. It's from Anchorage Brewing out of Alaska. Every beer they make is amazing, but Love Buzz is mind-blowing!

 

Tank 7 for me love this saison always in the fridge

 

The Standard IMO- Dupont.......

 

Avec Les Bons Voeux would be my favorite, but not likely to be around at this point. You really can't go wrong with anything out of the Dupont family. Otherwise it would throw further support behind the aforementioned choices from Boulevard, Goose Island and Ommegang.

 

Logsdon Seizoen Bretta and Juicy are my favorites

 

I would die if Hill Farmstead started distributing to Wisconsin!!! As of right now, Surly Cynic Ale is my favorite Saison. It's a tad on the light side, but I like that very much. I just tried Green Flash's Saison Diego, and that was really good too.

 

Love Sofie and Tank 7. We've been drinking a lot of sasions this summer as well at my place. I have a DuPonte in my cellar waiting and I'm expecting great things from it. Plus I home brewed a sasion this year and we're working our way through those bottles. Yesterday I went to a new brewery here called DryHop and they had a very good sasion on tap (lime leaves and ginger notes with a hit of cayenne pepper.). I love that so many breweries are really embracing this style.

 

Anchorage and Prairie are both distributed by Shelton Brothers.

 

Funkwerks Monarch
Funkwerks Saison
Funkwerks Tropic King
Funkwerks Nelson Sauvin
Funkwerks Montagne
Boulevard Saison Brett
Crooked Stave Saison Vielle (original batch)
Crooked Stave Surette
Ommegang Hennepin
Goose Island Sofie
Goose Island Sofie Paradisi


In no order....but the Funkwerks Monarch might be my favorite, shame it was likely a one-off.

 

Saison Dupont (a bit obvious)
Hennepin (Pretty obvious too)
Saison Rue
Helios
Saison De Pipaix
Fantome Saison (though the bottles I had were slightly smokey)

The only really good ones I've had. Not enough breweries making them.

 

Pretty Things Jack D'or is amazing. It's my favorite and at $5.99 a bomber it's a deal (well, it's a deal considering the price of other bombers and since Pretty Things only makes bombers, it's the only format I can get it in).

If you're a saison lover seek it out, you won't be let down.

 

Prarie Hop. This beer is amazing - great Saison flavors but aggressively dry hopped with citrus aromas similar to an IPA. In my top 10 overall. Also enjoy Sofie, Tank 7, and St. Feuillien.

 

They only distribute to Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York! Talk about east coast bias!

 

Surly CynicAle

 

1. The Standard-Dupont Saison
2. Logsdon Saizoen Bretta
3. Ommegang Hennepin
4. Anchorage Love Buzz
5. Brooklyn Soriachi Ace
6. And for all you haters out there: Sophie

 

As a former Virginia Resident I am glad to see Hardywood and Blue Mountain are still at it. Loved going up on the weekends and grabbing some of their brews.

 

Definitely Saison Dupont, Prairie Hop, and Prairie Ale.

Two more I really enjoyed were La Vermontoise (a Hill Farmstead - de Blaugies collaboration beer) and Saison Rue from The Bruery.

 

It's been awhile since I drank a St. Somewhere, but recall being impressed with their beers and most of them are Saisons. They use open fermentation and wild yeast. They make funky Saisons that don't get much mention here.

Only a few get distributed by the notorious Shelton Bros. Maybe they need a ghost as a logo?

False... we get plenty of Pretty Things beers here in Iowa.... Des Moines anyway.

 

100% agree...Great Saison.
