Saisons: they’re dry, they’re spicy, they’re unpredictable — and honestly, we’re not even sure they follow the rules. In this episode of The Beer Craft Podcast, Ben and Andrew explore farmhouse ales, from their rustic roots in the Belgian countryside to their modern-day reincarnation as the homebrewer’s blank canvas.

We’ll meet the yeasts that make it all possible, decode what makes a Saison a Saison in “The Saison Spectrum,” and find out why this style thrives in a heatwave. We’ll also dig into brewing tips, fermentation chaos, and a few historical grumblings from a very sweaty 1800s Belgian farmer.

Whether you like your beer bone-dry or a little bit funky, this episode proves one thing: there’s a Saison for every season.
