Bière de Garde

 A heritage French style, Bière de Garde literally means ‘beer for keeping’.  This brew was fermented slowly with a combination of our house lager yeast and a French saison strain.  Once fermentation was complete, we blended in a portion of dark ale from our wood cellar and cold aged the beer for 8 weeks prior to packaging.  The result is an exceptionally smooth beer that offers layers of toasty malt aromatics and notes of apple, spice and oak.  Enjoyable on its own or paired with your favorite harvest holiday meal.
