Availability: specialty, brewed exclusively for "Bierkraft" in Brooklyn
Description: When our friends at Biekraft & Mile End Deli (both of the great borough of Brooklyn) came to us and said “we want to brew a beer with you”, how could we resist?
After collaboration, discussion, and more than a few pints consumed, it was decided: our collaboration beer would be a Biere de Garde, a French-style of beer.
Coming in at 6.5% ABV, this copper-colored ale is reminiscent of a lager; like a lager, it was cool fermented, and went through a 2 month “garde’ing” period. And to mix things up a bit: there was a partial souring of the mash during the brew. The result is a smooth and extremely drinkable beer… in fact, it drinks like a beer far more sessionable than it’s full 6.5% ABV!
And the name, “Amis D’hiver”? That is French for “Winter Friends”, which is a perfect name to describe a beer done in collaboration with our friends down in Brooklyn.

Mini-growler from the brewery.
Clear copper hue, decent lacing. Big aromas of fresh herbs, lemon zest, caramel, ripe fruit and a faintness of alcohol. Medium bodied with a mild tartness, earthy ... almost musty. Fruity, spicy and mildly warming. Faint broth and spice in the finish.
Interesting to say the least ... it is right there for the whole Biere de Garde style and not that hard to knock back.
