Our five-year anniversary month keeps getting bigger, and this one is truly special. Grand Saison Hotel marks a milestone not just for us, but for anyone who loves world-class saisons. We teamed up with Dave from Mindful Ales, a brewer whose beers are legendary and almost impossible to get.
Fermented with a blend of Brettanomyces and Belgian Saison yeast, then dry-hopped with estate-grown Amarillo and can-conditioned for lively carbonation, this saison is as elegant as it is expressive. Expect notes of peach pit, apricot, and lemon meringue, all lifted by a brisk dryness and rustic edge that keeps you coming back. Dry, rustic, refreshing…everything a saison should be.

Lemon balm, some grapefruit peel. Pours murky yellow with good head and lacing. Light tart finish. Decent balance. Snally.

Not my bag when in comes to saison. A little too much brettanomyces and pepper.

16 oz can from AE, 10/17/25. Fully unclear yellowish color with a large, foamy white head. Bright, lemon, funk, and grass. Bretty horse blanket face slaps. Pepper and earth come through as well. Dry, funky. Tons of flavor. Classic brett saison stuff right here, and damn enjoyable.
