Season 2, Episode 15 - The Elite 8 of The Saison Showdown, and the reveal of the big winner.
We’re back with part 2 of The Saison Showdown and we’re pretty excited to announce the winner, which – SPOILER ALERT – is after the photo. We were all really happy with the results, and really taken back by how some of the beers did in the competition.
The Saison Showdown
Just to recap, in order of the combined average rankings of both Rate Beer and Beer Advocate, the beers we tasted on the show are as follows:
There you have it folks! Congrats to Boulevard Brewing Co.!
There are three awesome individuals that helped us with this massive blind tasting; Sara Kidd, “Dr.” Zack Alexander, and Bob Vreeland. We couldn’t have done this show in such an orderly and swift manner without the help of these pillars of podcast production. Our gratitude is extended to them for all of time.
There's a particular kind of conversation that happens among friends after a few great beers, where technical knowledge and genuine enthusiasm collide with unfiltered humor. That's the space Four Brewers: Craft Beer and Homebrew occupies every week. Hosted by John Holzer, Greg Nagel, Joe Senigaglia, and Jason Harris, this podcast feels less like a formal broadcast and more like pulling up a stool in their garage brewery. The discussion flows naturally from deeply informed tasting notes on the latest craft releases to the practical, sometimes messy, realities of homebrewing. You'll hear them dissect beer styles, interview industry folks, and troubleshoot their own brewing experiments, all with a layer of camaraderie and comedy that comes from years of shared obsession. It’s a show for anyone who appreciates the artistry in a well-crafted pint but doesn’t take the conversation too seriously. Tune in for authentic, geeky beer talk that celebrates the community and the constant learning process behind every glass and every batch. Whether you're a seasoned homebrewer or just curious about what makes your favorite IPA tick, the Four Brewers crew makes the world of beer feel welcoming, interesting, and consistently entertaining.
