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!

750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma has plenty of woodiness, wild yeast, oak, and wet wood. Flavour has plenty of graininess, lots of oak, some wood, and wild yeast. Woody, buggy, and grainy. It’s not one of their best yeast expressions but still pretty well-constructed.

Bottle at share. Foggy orange golden with a nice bubbly head. Aroma is the normal de Garde funk, tea. Taste is tea, earthy, woody and more of the DG funk. Dries out towards the end.

Very carbonated tart tons of berry fruit. Lively the fruit character hasn’t faded at all. Super excellent balance with fruit and touch of oak.

750mL bottled Nov, 2022, drunk May 9, 2025.
Clear, bright peach-brass-honey. Well-carbonated, off-white head is large, slowly fading to ring.
Dainty peach with a bit of leathery depth, floral fruit and restrained acid. Brett and very mild, well-aged lacto with no acetic. Lively oak, but low tannin. All comes together very homogeneously.
Light and fruity with wonderfully-extracted/expressed peach and tight, ebullient carbonation. Lots of oak flavor, but almost no tannin and low butter, even. Juicy peach and excellent Brett with very low acid - so low I probably wouldn't guess this was De Garde blind! But it's dainty, lovely, and most importantly, supremely drinkable.
