BDG

BEER STYLE / STATS:

Bière de Garde / 10.4 ABV, 25 IBU, 20 SRM

DESCRIPTION:

A Bière de Garde is the name for a style of ale that is very dry, malt-forward in flavor, and may have some bitter hop character especially at the finish. The traditional example of a Bière de Garde will be smooth from aging either in stainless steel or wooden barrels. The Notorious BDG is a very limited run Biere de Garde that we put in a barrel with a unique history... A rye whiskey that aged in a barrel that had bitter in it, that was aged in a barrel that had 7 year gin in it. This blend of flavors made it into this one of a kind, 10.4% lager.

HISTORY:

Bière de Garde is a “farmhouse style,” meaning it historically developed from farmers using ingredients they had on their own farm or farms nearby. Because of this historical tie to inconsistent ingredients Bière de Gardes come in a range of colors from golden with a biscuity or multi-grain cracker flavor to deep amber showcasing more graham cracker and dark bread crust notes.
