BotM April’24: Saison

Let’s see if we can hit at least 20 posts. Saison used to be big but now it’s hard to find local versions.

I think if I put my mind to it, I can get 20 this month.

I think Forest&Main is the best Saison brewery in the world.

Good reason to revisit this beauty.

Not that many new saisons around here - it’s Autumn. But some. Holgate/ Molly Rose Entwined - 25th Anniversary beer for the former is a collaboration with their former brewer at the latter.

Didn’t expect to find any saisons on my recent trip to deepest darkest Norfolk, but actually found two (although they were both actually from Cambridgeshire)…

Had no idea what this was going to be before I bought it. Had no idea what a triple saison is meant to be. Color me surprised when I pop this open and it’s a Brett beer!

Listed as a Biere de Garde here, but I disagree. Lovely light funky and dry saison / table beer-style beer. A bit enthusiastic when coming out of the bottle so had to get 2 glasses. Better than the ratings suggest imho.

You two just randomly walk by this bench filled with beer? That’s lucky

Love how there’s a Ukrainian beer chilling there. Not a saison, but fuck it, гарно вишло, як на мене.

Yeah, unfortunately the only Ukrainian beers that make it to us are pretty vile macros, like this 12% strong lager, which, all things considered, was kind of OK. Український сейзон would be a real win.

There is also a Ukrainian Kvas!
