I'm making some chicken with andouille and tasso gumbo.

Just finished a Courir de Mardi Gras from Bayou Teche with my chicken & smoked sausage gumbo. Seemed to wash it down quite nicely.

I'm new to the craft beer scene, a saison is a pale ale type beer? I had to google it.

would not compare to a pale ale at all
light, lower ABV to work well with the hot gumbo, and will often have fruity and/or spicy notes

Google letting me down, what is an example of one? Thanks for the input

Several very good saisons at Whole Foods in BR, if you live in the capitol.

I'm in Texas, I'll have to make a run to Spec's, they should have some. Any particular ones?

Ommegang's Hennepin is a nice saison and should be available at Spec's.

Then you have more quality options available to you than we do across the Sabine.

i found a Pliny the Elder IPA in my GF's fridge last week, which went perfect with the Chicken and Andouille gumbo i had just made. I Can't find it here, so I would go with a St. Arnold's Elissa IPA or maybe Abita Jockomo.
