The Saison Thread

[regularjohn]

I can take a picture when I get home, but here's one from Upright's FB page.

lol man some of these breweries make amazing beer but clearly marketing isn't their thing.

It's for sale at the brewery. I scored one on my trip to Portland last month. I was surprised to see it as I didn't think Upright had any glassware.

Good to know it's still around. I've tried to track one down / trade for one in the past and never got any traction.

Council Les Saisons was shockingly great.

The Brew Gentlemen Homegrown Saison.

Soft and a bit grassy with some melon rind and very faint citrus and guava. A touch floral. Bone dry but with some body and ample carbonation. Really well done, delicate beer that has plenty of depth without being at all overpowering.

Agree with PHBoiler that this is fantastic. Big thanks to RochesterAaron for the bottle and glass!

I may have to open my trading back up to get some of their stuff. Only heard great things that I can remember.

Enjoyed this one yesterday. Just about the perfect summer beer for hot Texas summers.

Absolutely love Petit Prince. A bar in town has a good amount of bottles of this and I plan on depleting their supply.

Elevation Signal de Botrange

Nose is sweet malt and wine. Bready, spicy yeast, more wine, dry bubble gum finish.

Another fantastic dry-hopped, barrel aged saison from Forest & Main. Might like this one more than Hapi.

FANTASTIC beer.

That will be one I'll be really mad at myself for trading/gifting so many away when I run out... fully back Featherwalker's greatness and looking forward to Sunday's release.

Inspiration is everywhere on this site! Agreed, wish I had more!

How tough are these bottles to get? Do they see local distro? Have read nice things about their saisons and am eager to try.

Is anybody here versed in Blackberry Farm? Interested in tracking down some of their less/non-distro'd bottles (e.g. native series, cellar reserves). Are these just for sale on the property or do they make it out into the market at all? Are they difficult to trade for?

This seems like Photekut territory?
If not hopefully we can get a ****** trade valuation and a #Tennessee story as a parting gift.

They only release at the brewery but a visit there is well worth it as well. So many good beers. They do some hoppy beers, lots of English styles and Saison made with local yeasts. Love that place.

FANTASTIC beer.

Their bottles have been fantastic recently. Arturam and featherwalker **** heavy. Need to pop a bottle of the paradonisis ish

7/14 Florence pairs nicely with the NBA finals.

Picked up a 16 oz can of a gin BA saison from Hermit Thrush yesterday in Waterbury. I know nothing else about it. It's a whole new saison world now I guess. Excited to try it.

16 oz can of a gin BA saison

Aaaaaaand canning has officially jumped the shark.

Beer sounds tasty though.

Hermit Thrush sounds like a bacterial infection from fellating a loner hobo.

They gotta start that mixed fermentation somehow.

Brewery only releases every few months, usually last 2-3 days at limit 3-6, no lines or ******** ...for now

FYI:
The Vermont state bird is the Hermit Thrush. They only can their beers, no bottles.

Just wanted to provide some context as to the brewery's name and why they canned a gin BA saison.

Funkberry yum

 

[tylerk88]

This is actually blowing my mind. One of the best BA saisons I've had. Adjective that keeps coming up is "soft." Tart and complex but so easy on the palate. HF - CD17

 

[PurityControl88]

A Boulevard release that I always enjoy. Prefer to drink it sooner rather than later so it's still just a little hoppy.
