Beers with Mandy

Try This Farmhouse

Welcome to Try This Farmhouse a project that celebrates farmhouse ales and demystifies their flavors.

Saison beer held by Mandy Naglich

When you see “Farmhouse Ale” on a tap list it can mean so many things for the flavor profile of the beer. Tart? Dry? Funky? Malty? Sure! Try This Farmhouse features interviews with brewers defining the flavor profiles of the beers that they brew, and sharing a little about the farmhouse brewing philosophy behind their wares.

You will also find research into the science and history of what makes a farmhouse beer taste the way it does and how this changes based on time and place.

What is Try This Farmhouse?

Each week on Thursday I’ll focus on one farmhouse brewery and the unique beers they create as well as some of the history that inspired today’s farmhouse trends. Plus, I’ll share the farmhouse beers you are all drinking that week and where you’re enjoying them.

    Local Ingredient Brewing in Upstate New York at Arrowood Farms

    “To me, ‘saison’ has lost its association to agriculture much the same way all of the beer has over time,” says Matt Schulze, head brewer at Arrowood Farms Brewery.  He brews on an actual farm surrounded by natural beauty about 15 miles outside of New Paltz, New York.

    Visiting Brasserie Thiriez: the Fabled Origin of Modern French Saison Yeast
