Treaty Saison is named for the Treaty of Ghent, which was signed in December of 1814 and ended the War of 1812. The Belgian city was neutral in the war and thus provided a safe place for the negotiations between the United States and Great Britain. Saison (French for ‘season’) was traditionally brewed in the Wallonia region of Belgium during the cooler months, and stored for consumption in the Spring. The term ‘farmhouse’ is used due to the fact that these beers were generally brewed by farmers and given to the workers for consumption.
