Dogfish Head / Victory / Stone Saison du BUFF
A hellaciously herbaceous collaboration of flavor
Collaborators: Sam Calagione, President & Founder, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery / Bill Covaleski, President & Co-founder, Victory Brewing Co. / Greg Koch, CEO & Co-founder, Stone Brewing
This saison has been infused with a herbaceous blend of Stone Farms and locally harvested sage, lemon thyme, rosemary and parsley and dry-hopped with Citra hops for a refreshing finish. First brewed in 2010, this citrusy farmhouse ale was named Saison du BUFF in tribute to the ad hoc coalition that Sam (Dogfish Head), Bill (Victory) and Greg (Stone) formed in 2003. Called Brewers United for Freedom of Flavor (BUFF), it was their way to show the beer industry that they were banding together to make room on the shelf for craft beer. Six years later this farm-to-kettle beer still boasts the use of freshly picked local herbs as well as Citra and Centennial hops to infuse crisp, savory, mouthwatering flavors.
This is the third time we're brewing this beer at Stone Brewing, and once again we're using herbs harvested from Stone Farms (as well as other local sources). How cool is it to brew with ingredients from your own farm? Very, very cool.
