Saison's Greetings

Ontario Craft Brewers' Podcast

In this second Ontario Brewer Podcast for August, Master Cicerone Mirella Amato continues her exploration of OCB-brewed saisons. She is once again joined by Certified Cicerone and beer columnist, Crystal Luxmore, at craftbeertastings.com and historian and beer writer, Jordan St.John at saintjohnswort.ca.

Having correctly guessed which saison was in front of them in the last podcast, Crystal and Jordan are looking forward to enjoying two other OCB-brewed interpretations of the style. The three saisons featured this month were Block 3 King Street Saison, Niagara Oast House Brewers Saison and Nickel Brook Le Paysan Saison.

About our two guests this month:

Jordan St.John is a Certified Cicerone, Beer Writer, and Historian who trained as a brewer but opted out of having to clean all that equipment. He deals with elaborate concepts and total nonsense at saintjohnswort.ca

Crystal Luxmore is a beer writer and Certified Cicerone whose stories appear in The Globe & Mail, Sun Media, enRoute and more. She leads beer tastings for corporate and private clients, and talks about beer trends on Global TV and CBC Radio. www.craftbeertastings.com
