Seth was supposed to come out to CIBC during the weekend that Hurricane Irene came to town. Since he saves people's lives for a living (and the entire city was in ultra-panic freak-out mode), Seth had to reschedule. And we're glad he did. His Rosemary Basil Saison (all picked from his herb garden by the way) is going to be just about as deliciously refreshing and herbal as you can get.

Notes on the beer you made for us at Coney Island (why you chose it, what makes it interesting, recipe, etc): I like Saisons for their rustic appeal and qualities. Very rooted in place and time, often times with an unexpected elegance. Rosemary will hopefully meld with hops to impart some more piney resin flavors. The basil should lend a harvest-reminiscent herbal flavor. Both the rosemary and basil are homegrown in our NYC garden. The beer should likely be good with some soft cheeses and hearty soups. Great for a brisk cool autumn day.
