I can’t imagine craft brewers are often asked the question, What’s your favorite Brett saison? Perhaps that’s because this style of beer, if it could be qualified as a style, is a relatively new trend in the American craft-beer market. I asked more than ten craft brewers this question, and almost every one replied with Boulevard’s Brettanomyces-fermented rendition of Tank 7, Saison-Brett (Kansas City, Missouri) and Logsdon Farm Brewery’s Seizoen Bretta (Hood River, Oregon). Here are five of those brewers on these two beers and a couple of others.

“Boulevard Saison-Brett stands out as a classic to me, maybe because it was the first Brett saison I had. I remember it showcased Brett really well without being sour and while still retaining saison characteristics.”
