Description
Located on the Oregon Coast, de Garde Brewing is dedicated to unique offerings. Our craft draws on historic traditions and local experimentation.

But wait... what does that mean?

First off, we do not add laboratory cultured yeast to ferment our beer. We simply cool the wort naturally in a coolship. Amazing yeast & microflora are all around us! That's why we're in Tillamook!

After the wort cools, we transfer everything to oak barrels (some big, some small, some medium). Each beer takes it's own time in barrels to finish fermenting.

Most of our beers take anywhere from 6 months to 5+ years in barrels before we package them.

Every bottle is naturally conditioned and ready to be enjoyed when we release it. Although the beer can age, please note the fruit and hop additions will dissipate with extended time.

But most importantly, we hope you enjoy!
Cheers!

Medium pink head, rather stable, over deep cardinal red beer. Vinous, old red wine, fruitwine, and -indeed- blackberries. Sour, lactic and fruitacids, red fruit & (black)berries (a lot of them). Old wine in the finish and -sorry- brocade. Lipsmacking acidity, fruitslickness, light to medium carbonation. Impressive beer, both velvety and sharp. Difficult to imagine it's only 6.3%.

10oz pour at Brujos. Pours clear pale yellow with moderate white head. Aroma has a lot of rustic wild yeast, oak, bugs, and leather. Flavour is pretty earthy with rustic, buggy, and oak notes; unfortunately there are a lot of phenolic bandaid-like notes that distract.

On tap at Imperial Bottle Shop, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with juicy peaches, a touch of vanilla, and a touch of oak. Flavour has some juicy peaches in back and not much vanilla. Not a huge amount of complexity, but very good juicy peaches. I thought I got some phenols, but they're low-level if there at all. Good stuff but nothing more.

On tap at Brujos, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out complex oak, lots of leather, complex wild yeast, and a touch of low-level phenols. Flavour is complex, with lots of old oak, musty earthiness, wild yeast, and phenols. A bit too much phenolic character but it's not too bad there.
