Take a trip to the farm this weekend as we cover Farmhouse ales and Saisons! Andrew Addkinson, from The Farmhouse Obsession blog, joins us via Skype to discuss his obsession with these historical styles.

 

We also welcome back into the studio, this time as a guest host, Eric Mitchell, Head Brewer at Heist Brewing Company in Charlotte, NC. Some of you may remember Eric from our Belgian Trappist Show a while back, as well as his appearance on our Sourfest show. Andrew shares his experiences with brewing Bieres De Garde while Eric drops his knowledge of his Saisons brewed at both home and Heist. We cover recipe development including malt and hops selection as well as dig deep into yeasts and bugs to make great examples of these styles.
