    More for the fan of farmhouse ales than the novice homebrewer
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2015*

Phil Markowski, Southampton Publick House’s brewmaster and brewer of the highly acclaimed Southampton Publick House Saison Deluxe writes the book of farmhouse ales. He is assisted by Lost Abbey’s brewmaster Tomme Arthur and Brasserie de la Senne’s founder and brewmaster Yvan De Baets. Markowski introduces farmhouse ales with a discussion on the history and current status of the beer and a brief discussion on style. He devotes about a third of the Book to Biere de Garde, the farmhouse ale of northern France and nearly half to the Belgian farmhouse ale, Saison. Both sections give an overview of the style, discuss brewing the style and provide sample recipes. While the book is packed with practical experience it will probably appeal more to the fan of farmhouse ales than to the novice home brewer. While there is more meat on beer making traditions, experienced homebrewers should be able to take the information in this this book and improve their farmhouse ales.

    Saison and Biere de Garde specialty!
  

*by G***L on Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2013*

Being a homebrewer and drinking Belgian beer led me to this book. I'm always interested in learning more about tradition and regions of whatever I might try to brew up, and this book was fascinatingly helpful, especially the section on Saison.Yes, the book has recipes and guides for any spice additions you might use, and info on water, yeast and hop value. This is NOT a book for a beginner brewer, but is a welcome companion for an intermediate level homebrewer, or if you are historically curious. Knowledge is good.Published in 2004, I did find myself amused where the author Yvan De Baets "A History of Saison" section states "Authentic saisons,along with traditional lambic beers, are certainly the most fascinating styles of old beers that still exists in Belgium. Unfortunately, they are part of a family of beers that is endangered since they no longer appeal to the tastes of the consumers who have become used to sweet and simplified flavors; therefore we absolutely must support or revive them in their authentic version or they shall become extinct."In 2013, I can say that the state of saisons and lambic ale is more popular than ever, because of homebrewers and the American craft beer movement. These styles are no longer in danger of becoming extinct.  Cheers!

    It's a good read if you're interested in beer and beer making traditions
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2014*

Good reference on the history of Belgian saisons and French bieres du garde and the current traditions of farmhouse ales from the region.  I just started making saisons this past spring and thought I'd like to learn more.  I bought this book at the same time I bought one of Michael Jackson's books on Belgian beer.  Jackson's books just blow everything else out of the water.  So if they hadn't arrived at the same time and I didn't devour them both immediately, I probably would have given this one more stars.  It's very good at what it describes and I did learn a lot.  I haven't tried any recipes, but I have a feeling they are one of the strongest parts of the book.
