Bière de Garde
Noble Beast Brewing Company

Base: A French-style farmhouse ale, this BDG is amber, malty-smooth, with light berry aromas.

Funky: We took this French-style farmhouse ale and keg conditioned it with a special strain of Brettanomyces yeast. By adding a little bit of sugar and yeast to the kegs, the beer underwent a secondary fermentation. The co2 from this fermentation pressurized the sealed keg and carbonated itself. The brettanomyces also contributed significant aroma and flavor. Look for that gentle funk and a sweet tart like acidity in the back end. The fun part is that the remaining four kegs are still sitting warm and will continue to progress and change. Keg 1/5 was only conditioned for 3 weeks so look for lots of interesting development going forward!
