By Phil Markowski. Two of the most obscure and least understood (at least outside their homeland) beer styles in the world—French biere de garde and Belgian saison—are explored in detail in this book. Includes historical origins, tasting notes, brewing ingredients and techniques, sample recipes, and color photographs. Required reading for beer judges and anyone who wants to faithfully reproduce these beers in a brewpub or homebrewery. 198 pages.
