Saison Brewday

Thus begins the next installment in the Great Saison Chain of Being. I’m also choosing to include an awesome newspaper ad from the 1890s, because if your malt extract is “stronger than beef,” then people need to know. Still. As in right now. And if I could get me some of that malt extract, the first thing I’d do is put it in a saison. Damn straight.
