Go from grain to glass right in your own kitchen. This Saison recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Saison, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Saison began as a farmhouse beer of Wallonia, the French-speaking south of Belgium, brewed through the cooler months and stored for the seasonal farm workers who drank it across the summer harvest. There was never one fixed recipe. Each farm brewed to what it had, so the name describes a season and a purpose more than a formula.

What the style shares is dryness. The beer finishes crisp and lightly peppery, with a fruity, spicy character that comes from the yeast rather than the hops. Pale gold and heavily carbonated, it was built to refresh after a day in the field. This version keeps the bitterness modest and leans on Styrian Goldings and an assertive Belgian saison strain to carry the spice.
