Beer to discuss? Farm House Style Ale.

Sofie Goose Island. Brewed in Chicago.
Saison style. I had it and highly recommend. Bastard was awesome. Any other representations I could look for? This one I have never seen.
BTW Whole Foods in Katy has a bar in it. About 10 taps for beer. Probably 16 total taps. Some have wine. NONE have bud light, coors, or miller!
Anybody need me to run and pick up milk or bread for them? I am looking for any excuse.

I like this style. Boulevard 7 Farmhouse Ale is great.

Don't know if that is who I spoke to but the guy who served me knew his shite. Looked like they keep a wine guy and a beer guy back there.
And you can take "Growlers" home.

Jester King is probably the leader in Texas made farmhouse ales

Just a new beer to look into. I am NOT an IPA guy. High IBU's are not my thing. Just a whole lot of things going on in the flavor without the bitter.

Never had a farmhouse ale or a saison. What are the flavor profiles? Aren't both styles yeast dependent?

Saison Dupont is the measuring stick for this style.

You would think. But I just can't. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Just the plain green bottle is about my limit of enjoyment. I can "tolerate" hoppier but that is it. You start getting into Rogue, Stone, and 60 or 90 minutes and I can't do it.

I enjoy ipas and the like as much as the next hop head, but sometimes my palate just doesnt want it that day and the bitterness is very apparent, even in beers that aren't all that bitter to me (typically obv).

I agree. A little over a year ago, I was convinced that IPAs, APAs, etc. were not for me. I did not understand why people liked them. Now, these are generally my go-tos and other than an occasional porter, I can barely do other types.

This has become one of my favorite styles over the last 3 years. I enjoy them (Farm House/Saison) most during the Spring and Summer.
I would recommend these two if you have't tried them yet (these are my reviews). I thought they were world class brews:
St. Feuillien Saison

Ommegang Hennepin (Farmhouse Saison)

Never had JK. Just listened to the brewing network and they had those guys on. I'm interested in trying some. Seems like they make a damn good beer, that not many can make. Thus the low availability. Owner said they really can't expand distribution because the aging of their beers and sours takes up a lot of space.

I had Rahr & Sons La Grange the other day. I thought it was really good.

Same here. My favorite style by a long shot.

Had a bottle last night.

I think Dupont is just the most well known. I don't find it to be particularly representative of farmhouse ales as farmhouse encompasses a very very wide range of beers. Saisons falls under the farmhouse umbrella and Dupont would be the big daddy in that subset of the famhouse style.
I recommend this book to anyone interested in the style. It is by far my favorite beer book I have.
