About this class
Farmhouse ales were originally brewed in Belgian and French farm buildings for agricultural workers, and the wild and semi-wild fermentation those conditions created is now intentionally replicated by craft brewers worldwide. This class tastes four farmhouse ales including a classic Belgian saison, a French biere de garde, and two American interpretations, exploring how yeast strain, fermentation temperature, and grain bill create the peppery, fruity complexity that defines the style. The brewer explains how Edmund's Oast approaches farmhouse fermentation.
