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!

Amber, slight haze. No head. The aroma has a bit of nail polish phenols coming out, along with leathery notes. The palate again has a leathery note, some tannic accents, medium acidity. Not getting that nail polish. Decent body. Moderate complexity, light bitterness, and the finish is quite tannic. Seems like it has some age, which adds something to it, a little fruitiness.

750ml @ Matt's (thx for the bottle!) new place. Appearance: hazy golden with almost no head. Aroma: pretty nice wild yeast notes, oak, and some fruity notes. Taste: along the same lines, very weird bitterness, nice stone fruits notes. Overall: interesting.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out gentle oak, some wild yeast, and a touch of lemon skins. Flavour is full of oak, a touch of phenols, wild yeast, lemon tang, finishing again on dry oak. Simple but pretty well-made -- nice oaky finish.
