More than anything it has helped to dispel a lot of misconceptions in the American craft brewing scene about what a saison really is, and how they are brewed. We are seeing less overspiced /overhopped /too sweet/too much alcohol saisons coming from American breweries, and the homebrews are getting better too.<BR/><BR/>This book has helped me vastly in understanding the basics of saison brewing, not only in what to do, but what NOT to do.<BR/><BR/>One of the most amazingly readable and passionately written chapters is the saison intro by Yvon DeBaets. <BR/><BR/>I don't read the Bier de Garde chapter much, but I'm glad it's there in case I ever decide to brew one.Seanywontonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06142253930096998849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-36328922606020170052009-03-07T13:13:00.000-05:002009-03-07T13:13:00.000-05:00Mike terrific review!
