Description
It was in 1973 that the adventure of the "Au Baron" brewery began. Alain Bailleux then purchased the last bistro in the village there. There he meets Danielle who will become his wife. Together, they embark on small catering. Later, Alain and his father, retired master brewer, challenge each other; create a craft brewery. This will be done on June 8, 1989 when Gussignies inaugurated the village brewery with Saint-Médard, a beer inspired by the farm-breweries of yesteryear. For a few years now, Florence and Xavier have taken over the reins of the family business and continue to make the Baron prosper by adding a local store where you can buy beers and products from local producers.

Bouteille 75cl. BB 20/2014, lot# 48? Ambrée, col blanc fin devenant vite plat. Arôme est malté, caramel qcq effluves houblonnées pour un style restant très français dans l’approche. Amertume venant des houblons porte sur qcq notes agrumes et herbacée. Palais est bien effervescent, léger malté caramel. Fini avec une pointe de noisette? Houblonné vert sur un léger résiduel nobles. Reste correcte comme bière de garde.

75 cl. bottle sampled @ RBBWG 2014. Courtesy of & thx! to Sebletitje. Pours orange. Nose is sweet oranges, orange peel, faint lemon peel, lemonade, touch aspirin. Taste is bitter orange peel, caramel, bitter yeast, plastic, aspirin, some sugar, grains, some malts. Sparkling. Okay but not that stellar. I am starting to suspect that Americans are systematically overrating everything that has the non-existing style “Bière de Garde” attached to it. What is the deal with that, too hip to admit that you are over-hyping French saisons?

Dobre de garde ze spora piana i metnoscia, drozdze osadzone wzdluz butelki co swiadczy o dlugim lezakowaniu piwa w pozycji lezacej. Aromat suszonej moreli. W smaku troche jakb gueuze ale z dodatkiem suszonych owocow zwlaszcza moreli. Brazowo- pomaranczowy kolor i spora biala piana.
