Saison Brewday

Time to get back to basics. Since it is summer, that means saison. And thanks to Jeff Fortney at Warped Wing, I have some fancy new yeast for my summer run of saisons. After this one, the dandelions should be in full swing, so another version of the dandelion saison will be in the mix. Maybe two.
