Saisons Greetings

My second article for Beer Connoisseur was just posted and it's a timely one for a couple of reasons. For one, the Saison style is one of my personal favorite summertime beers, hands down. Who am I kidding? Saisons are one of my favorite beers regardless of season. The other reason is that, for the intrepid brewer, saisons are also a terrific style to brew in warm weather as they benefit from a relatively hot primary fermentation. In fact, members of the Aleuminati Alechemists are taking advantage of this fact even now for our third collaborative beer brewing session. I hope to get in on this action soon as well, but with a baby due to arrive any day now, I'm gonna wait until I can focus on the beer again. Until then, you can read about the saison-brewing exploits of Aleuminati luminaries like Ray Grace and Rob DeNunzio right here.
