Amory’s Tomb Barrel-Aged Saison Ella

Every November I travel up to Vermont with a group of my college buddies, we’ve been doing this trip for many years but it has evolved over time. For one thing, now we each get our own hotel room instead of sleeping 4-5 guys to a room like we did in our early 20’s. I’ve […]

Allagash Saison Violette

When I was younger and just starting my journey to craft beer geekdom I used to make fun of a few of my friends who drank blueberry beer. Growing up and going to college in Maine these beers were all over the place, they were typically light ales loaded up with artificial blueberry flavors and […]

Night Shift Pomegranate State

A year or two ago (I don’t remember exactly, it all seems to run together as you start to get old) I was having a Twitter chat with Night Shift brewer Isaac Boucher about our mutual disappointment that Night Shift had decided to not brew any saisons that spring/summer. Isaac and I both love the […]

Amory’s Tomb Wax Galaxies

As I mentioned in my article on Monday I am trying to work in some more curbside pick-ups at local breweries in the coming months. As much as I miss sitting at a taproom bar with a pint or a flight, and I hope to do it again soon, it has been nice to order […]

Shire Breu-Hous From Around Here

There are parts of the state that I frequent, MetroWest where I live, Cambridge where I work, the North Shore where my in-laws live, so when I actually get the chance to visit a brewery the places located in those areas tend to be more likely stops. To be fair, I do a crappy job […]

Stone Cow Roll in the Hay IPA and Farmhouse Saison

Earlier this week I posted a recap of my first, and very long overdue, visit to Stone Cow Brewery in Barre. My whole family had a blast and we will definitely be back sometime in the near future. Obviously, a big part of a visit to any brewery, and probably the piece that will most […]

Oxbow Saisontino

I am starting to plan potential brewery stops for my next trip to Maine, which happens in a couple of weeks, and it is tough to even narrow it down to a shortlist. There are always old favorites I want to visit again, new places I want to check out for the first time, and […]

Amory’s Tomb Umbrella Pose

On Monday I posted a write-up on my recent visit to Amory’s Tomb, the Maynard establishment that specializes in saisons and other Belgian styles. The day before my visit Amory’s Tomb released three beers in bottles, all part of their barrel program. The importance of the barrels is obvious at Amory’s Tomb, a stack of […]

Bone Up On On and Unholy Alliance

My brewery visits are relatively limited right now, between the demanding job, house stuff and two young kids I don’t often have a free hour to kill sitting down at a brewery. Most of my visits are very brief, I happen to be in a specific area for something else and I am able to […]

Mystic Saison Dutronc

Last week I wrote an article about the saison style, why I love the style and why I am so disappointed that it doesn’t sell very well, leading some significant local breweries to cut back their production. I am going to keep harping on saisons this spring, and if the articles are ignored by all […]
