My farm can beat up your farm
Perhaps in today's society with Facebook in farmville this is a common saying. However I don't think that anyone had beer in mind. Jason and I have both set out to brew a traditional low gravity farmhouse ale. When many people think about Belgian beers they think of high gravity breathalyzer busters. As most of you know I am a fan of the session beer and thus was extremely enticed by this beer. Fantome is perhaps my favorite farmhouse ale. I have heard from reliable sources that there beers taste different from batch to batch. I think there is beauty in that which can not be replicated. Home brewing is an art form, and the beer you make that day is a beer that reflects that moment. After all could Picasso paint the Mona Lisa over again if he had to in the exact same fashion? Would it look exactly the same? I hope that I never make the same beer twice. Anyhow...here are some pics of the farmhouse ale. There should be a farmhouse vs. farmhouse event featuring both of these prospective offerings....

Can't wait to have a farm-off to compare the two.
