Self-Defined Style:
Bière de Garde A bottle-conditioned, French farmhouse-style ale. The name refers to the beer's ability to improve with age and if you choose to age this ale, the tart fruitiness from the yeast and the sweet maltiness from the grains will meld together nicely for several years at cellar temperatures.
Best With:
From a culinary standpoint, French ales are spectacular food beers for their rich, subtly spicy character, broad range of fruity esters and moderate phenols in the nose, and relatively high, prickly carbonation. French ales are excellent with veal, lamb, or pork, but also work with a variety of seafood, salads, and clear broth soups.
