Going off of the saison brewing thread that was active at the end of last year, I decided to do a post on my general thoughts on saison ingredients and brewing process:

I'm interested to get people's thoughts on this, and areas for further development. Based on some of the intro paragraphs, I'm also curious on what people's thoughts are on the use of "saison" and "farmhouse" in so many beer names and descriptions today, particularly in light of Shaun Hill bemoaning the frequent use in a recent interview with Good Beer Hunting. Are there better terms out there? Mixed fermentation? A new term/phrase?
Really, as always, I'm looking for an excuse to talk about saisons, or whatever you want to call all these beers
