It seems Saison is the new IPA.
I think Am. IPA is a distinct style by now, past the fad stage. The hop flavors and aromas that are being achieved are new and unique with respect to the history of beer. Hell, you have Belgian breweries that are making American IPA now. It's here to stay. Again, I tend to enjoy the American interpretation of Saisons very much, Am. hops work well with Saison yeast.
Anyway, funny things about beer. A co-worker of mine told me today that he had to hear some hipster homebrewer know-it-all telling his local beer store guy that he needs to "rack his IPA's to secondary and age them out". WTF? That's all I got...
