Garde de Biere

This beer ingredient kit is based on the award winning Bière de Garde brewed by our friend Shawn Scott, owner and brewer of Bierkraft Brewing in McAlester, OK

History: Name literally means "beer which has been kept or lagered.� A traditional artisanal farmhouse ale from Northern France brewed in early spring and kept in cold cellars for consumption in warmer weather. It is now brewed year-round. Related to the Belgian Saison style, the main difference is that the Bière de Garde is rounder, richer, sweeter, malt-focused, often has a "cellar” character, and lacks the spicing and tartness of a Saison.

Extra, Extra: Did you know that Shawn's original homebrew recipe was the basis for Choc's award-winning Brewmaster's Signature Biére de Garde? Salute!
