What is Saison beer?
What exactly is a Saison? Ask ten brewers and you may get ten different answers. While Saison is widely recognised as one of Belgium's classic beer styles, its farmhouse origins and long history of interpretation make it surprisingly difficult to define. In this article, award-winning beer writer Stephen Beaumont explores the origins of Saison, the role of yeast in shaping its character, and why this refreshing Belgian style remains one of the brewing world's most fascinating categories. Of all the beer styles that are misconstrued by even many of those who brew them, Saison must surely rank among the most misunderstood. Although owing to the single style success of one particular brewery, Brasserie Dupont, it was not always thus. In the 1980s and early ‘90s, Belgium was experiencing its transformation from a little-known beer-drinking nation to the global centre of brewing ingenuity,. Much of that newfound attention was driven by the work of beer writer Michael Jackson, whose influent

The un-Cava, Cava
As shown in the report on the Corpinnat sparkling wines, there’s no debate as to the solid momentum behind this association. What started as a group of six ‘rogue’ high-quality sparkling winemakers abandoning the Denomination of Origin Cava has turned into a serious bubbly force to be reckoned with. I feel like the larger question being asked now isn’t, “Why would someone leave DO Cava?” and much more, “Why wouldn’t someone join Corpinnat?” While it may seem a rather obvious direction to take, there are vast and varied barriers to […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription.

Whiskey Review: Sazerac Rye 100-Proof Straight Rye Whiskey
Introduction This week on the Film & Whiskey podcast, we cracked open a bottle that’s been staring at us from the desk for a while now: Sazerac Rye 100 Proof . Big thanks to the folks at Sazerac for sending us this hefty liter bottle. This is the amped-up version of the well-known “Baby Saz” rye, the non-BTAC (Buffalo Trace Antique Collection) release that’s gained popularity as the go-to rye for making classic cocktails. But here, we get it at 100 proof, in a liter-sized bottle, clearly meant to be your new home-bar workhorse. There’s no age statement, so it’s at least four years old, and Buffalo Trace—as usual—isn’t sharing the mash bill. But most speculation suggests it’s their low-rye rye mash, possibly just 51% rye, which gives this whiskey a unique hybrid character. We dove in to see whether this bottle is just a high-proof mixer, or something more. Nose Brad: This is a really robust nose. There’s a ton of mint
