Beer Style: Belgian and French Farmhouse Ales
Includes both saison and bière de garde recipes.
Solera Saison
A saison great for barrel aging and brewing time and time again when a portion of the barrel is drawn off.
Gordon Strong’s Saison
I like my saisons like my cocktails, with some rye in them. In this case, I’m using some flaked rye but malted rye can be substituted.
Prairie Artisan Ales’ Prairie Ale clone
The inaugural Prairie Artisan Ale, a dry, effervescent Belgian-style farmhouse saison that drinks smoothly for a beer of its size.
7venth Sun Brewery’s Saison in Paradise Clone
With a subtle spice character and quick turnaround time, this is a great summer sipper.
Gordon Strong’s Bière de Garde
An amber bière de garde in the style of Jenlain using (mostly) malts from the area.
