Yesterday the collaborative powers of Sam Calagione (Dogfish Head), Bill Covaleski (Victory) and Greg Koch (Stone) unleashed Saison du Buff. The brew commemorates the short lived, Brewers United for Freedom of Flavor (BUFF) formed by the three brewers back in 2003.
The Belgian farmhouse style ale breaks away from the norm with some creative herbal touches. A unique blending of sage, rosemary, thyme and parsley is sure to keep this from being a ho-hum saison. You sure wouldn't expect anything from these guys to get labeled run of the mill. The beer is being brewed at all three breweries. The current batch was done at Stone Brewing and the next brewings happen during Philly Beer Week. First up is Dogfish Head on June 6th (release July) and then Victory Brewing on June 10th (release August).
