Brewed with German Munich, melanoidin, and smoked malts, Hallertaer hops and German ale yeast. Matured three years in oak barrels with lactobacillus. Dark brown in color with notes of fruit leather, dried tobacco, and oak, balanced acidity with a warming finish. 10.5% ABV
Framboise White
Belgian inspired wild/sour wit beer open fermented with our blend of wit yeast, lactobacillus, and brettanomyces. Matured ten months in Chardonnay barrels with organic golden raspberries from Denison Farms. At blending we added more golden raspberries from this summers crop. A really nice taste of summer to get you through the winter 8.5% ABV

De Garde Beers:
Saison Desay:
Side Project Collaboration aged in Chardonnay Barrels
A sour farmhouse ale, barrel fermented and aged. After running through our coolship and beginning fermentation in barrels, we added a mixed wild culture from Side Project brewing to complement the mixed fermentation with our own yeast and bacteria.
Bright tropical fruit character with a bracing acidity balanced with rustic Brettanomyces notes and Chardonnay barrel influence.
