Saison is French for overpriced pale ale.

Prairie Standard

Tropical fruit juice and funk. Light carbonation. A more lively body would make this amazing.

Stillwater Classique, could drink so much of that beer.

Does to me

 

[lazerviking]

Seems to me "why try the new version of an old classic" question is about the silliest thing you could ask in all of craft beer.

Hyperbole much?

I think that deux amis was €3,50 here. So that might be it

 

[andrewdrinks]

La Vermontoise or D'Epeautre. €4.50 for a 75cl, can't go wrong.

I thought it was good but for $11ish. I'd have bathed in it for €3.50.

This would be my go to if I could get it locally. But seeing as how we have pretty much no Saison for sale locally, I'd say my go to is my beer Kathleen that I try to keep around. I can brew about 10 gallons for about $35-40 since all you really have to account for is the hops and malt. I maintain my culture in house so no cost there really.

Tank 7 and Apex Predator were already mentioned (and are my #1 and #2 choices), but my #3 choice is Great Divide Colette. $10/sixer for a good, everyday saison. Can't beat that price.

On cheap saisons; just had my first regular ass Saison Dupont of the month and holy ****. No competition. Perfection imo

Sads to find out today that Odd wood isn't going to make their saison anymore. That was always a nice shelfie in Texas trades.

I've heard really good things about that one, too.

 

[americanzero4128]

It's a good price for a budget saison? Not gonna blow your mind or anything, but at $10/6 pack (so $1.67/bottle) it's a good saison on a budget. Apex Predator is $2/bottle and Tank 7 is $2.75/bottle, which are still really good prices. I didn't mean it was the 3rd best saison I've had, just that it's 3rd on my list of budget saisons.

Allagash Saison is pretty solid, too. Much better than some of the other large craft saison. I'm fairly sure they use Blaugies yeast, and they do it well.

 

[americanzero4128]

You're right....I don't know how I forgot about Allagash. Dumb move on my part.

Any idea why?

A friend in Texas said they were going a different direction with their lineup. No more details from him. I didn't ask for more either.

Probably going to get into the kettle soured fruit sour #newmoney game

Went ahead and loaded up for daily drinkers

That's sad news. One of my favorite beers from 2016
