Baltimore brewer Brian “Stillwater” Strumke will make the Philadelphia debut of his first commercial brew, Stateside Saison, at a keg tapping at Devil's Den (1148 S. 11th St.) this Tues., March 30 at 7 p.m.

Stillwater Artisanal Ales is the realization of Strumke's experiments with home brewing since 2004, some of which yielded medals in "the Sam Adams Longshot and Holiday Competitions, as well as the American Homebrewer's Association Nationals," writes BeerInBaltimore.com. Strumke described his Stateside Saison to beer writer Chuck Cook as an "American Farmhouse Ale." BeerInBaltimore elaborates:

It's a Belgian-inspired brew that uses a combination of European malts, hops from New New Zealand and the United States.. and a classic farmhouse yeast to achieve a fruity, yet spicy, melange of flavors and aroma.

Thirty barrels of Stateside Saison were brewed for the first batch; Stillwater's Twitter advises that batch #2, as well as a hush-hush summer seasonal, is now underway. Look for the saison on draft, in 750-ml. bottles and on cask in area taprooms after the debut on Tuesday.
