Saison — Belgian farmhouse ale brewed for seasonal workers, light-bodied, spicy, and highly carbonated — became American craft brewing’s sophisticated summer style between 2011-2023. #SaisonFarmhouseAle documented the style’s rise among beer geeks seeking complexity beyond IPAs. Brewery Ommegang and Boulevard Tank 7 (2009) popularized the style; by 2015, most craft breweries offered saisons. The style’s yeast-driven character (peppery, fruity, earthy) and drinkability (5-7% ABV) made it perfect for warm weather. Saisons proved American brewers could master European brewing traditions.
