Episode 18: Oh, Saison

Oh, Saison, am I not an admirer of you, and one deserving of perfection? It’s a world of new beer out there, and Shawn and I are here to learn as much about it as possible. Lift Bridge Brewery of Stillwater, Minnesota is still fairly new to the craft brew scene, but with their flagship Farm Girl Saison being distributed on a larger scale, it won’t be long before many take notice. This week’s show focuses on the Farm Girl saison from Lift Bridge, and placing it with a Saison Dupont in side by side reviews. The Saison Dupont, a typecast of the saison style of beer, is brewed by Brasserie Dupont of Belgium.
