De Garde Brewing Bottle Release & Tasting Room

I finally tried Rougie last weekend and it was fantastic. Incredible barrel flavor and great balance. Excited to see what's in store for the keepers membership.

 

So who wants to help out a midwest guy and being a DeGarde trustee?

...dont everyone jump at once

 

Some things I took away from my visit to the tasting room last Saturday:

• Lee Noir is delicious.
• Trevor is an outstanding host.
• De Garde's pricing is not just sensible, but friendly.
• Srsly, Lee Noir is delicious.

 

I only have 2 Lee Noir left. Drank 3 and sent 3 out to regulars.

I feel dumb.

 

Need to put those monies towards your next ten thousand releases

 

I had nine of your beers over the weekend. Loved them all.

 

You should probably send them to me in Seattle...please??? Haven't ever been able to try even one!!! Dammit!!!

 

FYI - Morning Star is on at Tin Bucket and they have a couple of Lee Noire bottles.

 

If you hadn't moved to Kent I'd offer to open some with you Ryan but I never see you anymore

Guess I'll be picking up a few more bottles of Lee Noir Thanksgiving weekend (if you guys are open)

Had a nice little tasting this last weekend of the 9 bottles released so far...Think my favorite was Vin Rougie but they were all great!

 

Not to offend anyone living in Kent...but dear Lord no...we moved to Kirkland
I need to remedy the not seeing me part...after the Holiday's perhaps?

 

One of those K places

Yeah, hit me up after the holidays. I STILL have that Gilgamesh sitting in my fridge. We should put a tasting together.

 

Seriously?!? That is awesome. Lets do a January tasting. I'd love to see you, Chandler, Greg, etc.
Anyways...back to the original topic...continue on peoples...

 

Kirkland, Kent, same difference.

I was tempted to post the picture, but figured you should have first crack at it. What a great night, I loved the Cran and Blu Bu Weisses, and Vin Rougie was AMAZING. Only one I didn't really dig was Loak Bean.

 

Really? I loved Loak Bean... all the deliciousness of Loak with an added splash of coffee

 

As I said on Untappd, it smelled like a cow pasture with some chocolate. It wasn't terrible, but was my least favorite De Garde of the day.

 

I'll be heading by tomorrow probably... Worst case, the next day, looking forward to it, and finally living down the street. Hope you saved a membership for me!

 

Tillamook terroir!

 

Hey, my wife and I were there Saturday as well, and had an excellent time.

+1 to everything you said above. Really wish De Garde the best of luck in the future, and I can attest that all they hype I'd heard previous to my visit was well deserved!
