A French farmhouse ale. This beer is the French cousin of the Spring Brew.
Both were brewed for the farmhands so they had something to drink during the harvest. Biere de Garde means Beer to store or beer to keep. Our version is light amber in color. A good portion of Munich malt helps give this beer a nice sweet malt flavor. It’s left unfiltered. This ale has a nice malt flavor with very subdued hop bitterness and flavor. Hops used were English Pilgrim and East Kent Goldings. The yeast used gives this beer a nice fruity aroma and flavor.
