It was nice to take a little breather today and simply just feature a beer. We’ve been rocking & rolling with some great guests, including Sam Calagione last week, so it was time to just get together with the Friday BeerBuzz crew & simply enjoy a beer.
Today we decided to reach across the Atlantic and into Belgium to feature a beer. We chose St. Feuillien Saison for several reason. First off it’s a classic Belgian style, a classic Belgian brewery, a really unique new can package…but most of all…it’s a really great beer.
Of course it was fun working out the pronunciation…and in any case, Brasserie St. Feuillien dates back to the 7th century when an Irish monk name Feuilien came to Europe to preach the gospel. Bad news for Feuillien is that he was be-headed as a martyr in 655, but good news is his disciples erected a Chapel in his name, which ultimately became the Abbaye St. Feuillien.
Brasserie St. Feuillien is know for it’s pure water and 1st class ingredients, and after one taste of this Saison, you’ll understand how important that is. This beer is slightly tangy, with the classic yeasty flavor of a traditional Saison. French for “Season”, these classic Saisons come from the Wallonia region of France and they date back to the days when beer was produced for farm workers to supplement potable water. This modern day brew is packaged in the new 11.2oz slim cans from St, Feuillien, and at $11.99 for a four-pack, it’s a great deal on a really great beer. Try it for yourself!
Thank you to Nancy, John & Joe for yet another
fun Friday.
