Today's farmhouse styles resulted from years of evolution, refinement, interpretation and re-interpretation of the simple, rustic ales once brewed on farms in Flanders and Wallonia. Farmhouse Ales defines these saison and biere de garde brews in modern and historical terms while guiding today's brewers toward credible and enjoyable reproductions of these old world classics.
