Drinking Socially - S3 Ep. 09: The Saison
As we move closer and closer to summer, the seasonality of beers is on our mind for Episode 9. We dive into the Saison looking at one of the most notable examples of a traditional Saison, and a well-loved example of an American Saison. We also cover the development of Untappd.tv, and interview John Scholl from Cicerone to learn about Beer Clean Glass Day!

Show Notes
What We’re Drinking:
Saison Dupont by Brasserie Dupont
- ABV: 6.5%
- IBU: 30
- Notes: Saison Dupont is a world classic beer and the yardstick for one of Belgium’s most important beer styles. It is the most admired AND imitated Saison in the world. A strong, vital yeast is key to full attenuation and thus to the style. Saison Dupont is straw colored with a dense creamy head. The nose is alive, like fresh raised bread, estery with citrus and spice notes. Full-bodied and malty, it sparkles on the palate and finishes with a zesty hop and citrus attack. Incredibly compatible with food!
Saison by Allagash Brewing Company
- ABV: 6.1%
- IBU: N/A
- Notes: A Maine interpretation of a classic Belgian farmhouse-style ale. Notes of citrus and peppery spice accompany pleasant malt character and a tropical aroma. The addition of dark Belgian candi sugar complements the beer’s rustic flavor while giving it a dry palate.
