be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to

Subject: New Brewing Trend Buzzword
Hello Fellow Brewers:
As an interested observer of all things beer, I've noticed a new brewing
trend emerging in the craft brew world: Farmhouse. Yes indeed, following on
the heels of the "Imperial" trend, where any style beer can be made bigger
and bolder, now comes "Farmhouse." Nearest I can figure from the handful of
farmhouse beers I've tasted, this trend simply means the use of Belgian
yeasts in non-Belgian styles. I think that a beer that is farmhouse is going
to have the following characteristics: earthy, tart, sour, spicy, etc.
Certainly the New Holland Farmhouse IPA that I had over the weekend was
consistent with those descriptive words.
I'm not sure which beer style I'll try to "Farmhouse" later this summer but
I think that I'll use a saison yeast. I would appreciate any ideas regarding
the homebrewing of a non-Belgian style of farmhouse beer.
Happy 4th of July,
Alan Pearlstein
Commerce Township, Michigan
