Biere de Garde - Beer Recipe Kit

Average Rating

The "Original Gatoraid", Bire de Garde was said to give the French and Belgian farmer a much needed boost of energy during the day, due to the low alcohol and relatively high residual sugar content. Our version has a bit more malt than tradition dictates, but we think you will find this beer highly drinkable. The malt is the focus of this style of beer, with a slight toasty nose from the Munich. A yeasty character is not uncommon, and is achieved by an extended period of contact with the yeast bed some commercial breweries go for up to six weeks! This should be fermented at 64F.
