Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailLe Saisonniere

Saisons (pronounced “say-zohns”) are refreshingly crisp, dry beers traditionally brewed in the French-speaking southern part of Belgium known as Wallonia. Originally brewed for summertime consumption, they are now year-round standards at the family table. Le Saisonniere was brewed in the style of a grisette and named in honor of the saisonnieres, seasonal farm workers who toiled in the summer sun and were rewarded with and refreshed by this thirst-quenching beer. These were historically brewed to a lower alcohol content despite the recent industry precedent to create much stronger saisons.
