Saison Dupont
Brasserie Dupont — Belgium
Farmhouse Saison6.5% ABV🇧🇪 Belgium
The benchmark saison — dry, spicy, and effervescent. Michael Jackson called it "the world's greatest saison." Brewed at a family farm in Hainaut since 1844, it has shaped the entire modern farmhouse ale movement.

Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale
Boulevard Brewing — USA
American Saison8.5% ABV🇺🇸 USA
Named for the tank where a Belgian yeast strain accidentally over-attenuated a batch, creating something far more interesting than intended. Grapefruity, spicy, and dry — the best American saison in wide distribution.

Sofie
Goose Island Beer — USA
Farmhouse Ale6.5% ABV🇺🇸 USA
Aged in white wine barrels with orange peel — a uniquely elegant American farmhouse ale. Champagne-like effervescence, citrus, and subtle funk from Brettanomyces. One of the most refined craft beers from Chicago's original craft pioneer.
