If anyone is going to the Perennial Beer Fest in St. Louis this weekend, be sure to try our local boys from Ozark Beer Company. They're bringing a saison and a Bourbon Barrel Aged Belgian Golden.
Here's the writeup on the Boll Weevil Saison:
Boll Weevil, a Pesky Farmhouse Ale is a beautiful Brett Beer developed by Jesse Gagnon specifically for the Midwest Belgian Beer Fest. It is a blend of farmhouse ale hopped with the New Zealand hop Wakatu then aged for four months in Bourbon Barrels. Brettanomyces and Lacto Bacillus were added in the barrel. A summer saison was then brewed independently for an even blend with the barrel aged beer. The saison’s fresh and light nose hoists the barrel’s presence and with a slightly peppery finish, the saison smooths out the dryness of the barrel beer.
