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!

Grapefruit, probably a little of the plastic nimbleprop mentioned, though I like it a little more than he appears to have. Oak hangs out with you for a while in the end, comes off pretty sharp. Golden pour with OK head. Lots of sourness, some astringency in the finish. Unripe orange. Tap at Dominion Wine and Beer.

750mL bottle at Side Project Cellar, 2/14/24. Clear golden, small covering of white head. Nose is killer, tropical fruit, lots of Brett. Juicy, dry, biscuits, leather, very fruity and Bretty. In the mouth it's a bit more pedestrian with soft malt some biscuit and light lactic character. Wine, oak, kumquat, unripe guava. Weirdly unexciting.
