"Bière de Garde is a blend of three barrels from three contrasting brews produced in January, July and October 2018. The blend produced an easy drinking, dry, malt-forward beer with balancing bitterness and funk. The bottle fermentation included a phase led by lactic acid bacteria, known as 'sickness', which produces extra weight and fullness to the mouthfeel. Bottled in November 2019, the beer was effectively lagered in bottle at cold ambient temperatures over winter, before completing maturation in the early summer months of 2020."

"This is a new blend, created to capture the remarkably light and fresh citrusy character we find in some of our older barrels. It was made from a blend of pale beers, consisting of 2 barrels of 4 year old beer, and 2 barrels of 3 year old beer. The barrels making up the blend were selected for their combination of bright citrus acidity and balancing deep funk, to produce a complex yet elegant summery beer. The finished blend was dry-hopped with fresh whole-leaf Czech Saaz hops, for their wonderful noble aromatics, along with a touch of US Citra to highten the lemon/grapefruit notes of the fermentation. Bottled straight from the dry-hop tank to capture as much of the hop as possible, the finished beer then conditioned in bottle for 5 months."
