What is "bière de garde"?
Bière de garde is a type of beer that originated in northern France, and is known for its rich, malty flavor and high alcohol content. It is brewed using a combination of malted barley and other grains, hops, and yeast, and is typically lagered for an extended period of time to enhance its flavors and smoothness. Bière de garde is often associated with the fall and winter seasons, and is traditionally served during festivals and celebrations in northern France. It comes in a variety of styles, including blonde, amber, and brown, each with its own unique characteristics and flavor profiles. Bière de garde has a slightly sweet, fruity flavor, with a pronounced maltiness and a dry finish. Due to its high alcohol content, bière de garde is typically enjoyed in moderation, and is often paired with hearty dishes such as stews, roasts, and strong cheeses.
