Bon Beer Voyage Monthly Brewsletter
July 2012 |
Greetings!
Happy Independence Day! Wow! America's Independence Day, France's Independence Day and Belgium Independence Day are all in July, what a great excuse to drink a lot of great beer (including the Saisons we discuss in this month's article 'Tis the Saison...) from all 3 countries! And that is exactly how we plan to spend this month! We're off to Belgium and France to meet with our brewers and suppliers for our October/November Grand Crus to Farmhouse Brus Beercation Cruise. Yes, our "quality control" is a rough job, but someone's gotta do it, so it may as well be us! ;) In case you haven't had a chance to check out the webpage for this Beercation, we will be visiting Chimay, Rodenbach, In de Vrede Cafe at Westvleteren, Saint Bernardus, St. Canarus, Brasserie Thiriez, Van Eecke, Brasserie St. Germain(Page 24), Brasserie Balleux , Abbay des Rocs...and so much more... And for those of you who have been asking, we've decided to open a few single occupancy cabins for this trip. We can also help you with roommate pairings on any of our trips as we get requests. Just email us and we'll let you know as soon as we have a potential roommate for you. Availability is limited though, so if you are thinking of joining us, you'll need to book soon or you'll miss the boat! Ready for a great beer getaway but don't want to wait until October for beercation? Join us for our Saint Augustine Beer Safari Weekend in September. A fast, fun and beer-filled weekend of brewery visits, tastings, beer paired gourmet meals, sightseeing and FUN! We hope you all have a great 4th of July! We'll be posting during our trip to France and Belgium over the next week and a half, so stay tuned to our Bon Beer Voyage FB page to see what's in store for those of you joining us on our upcoming beercations. And if you can't join us this time, well, feel free to enjoy the postings anyway, remember what you think about comes about, so hopefully you will eventually be in those photos with us! Cheers! Ruth & Mike |

 'Tis the Season... for Saisons!
Since we are heading over to France and Belgium in a few days to meet with suppliers for our upcoming Grand Crus to Farmhouse Brews tour, I thought I'd share a few fun facts about saisons.
Saison, is the French word for season. They were named such because before the advent of modern refrigeration, they were brewed in the fall and winter -during the cool season- to be consumed during the summer season by the farmworkers in the French speaking Wallonia region of Belgium. Since they were brewed on the farms, they are also often called Farmhouse Ales. click here for the rest of this article about saisons...

If you don't wait too long, you can join us by grabbing a cabin on this year's special itinerary: Grand Crus to Farmhouse Brews Beercation Cruise through Belgium and France! Fabulous breweries, gourmet meals, private sighseeing and brewery tours- its truly a once in a lifestime beercation. Don't wait though, register today-space is limited and will sell out soon! |
