About

Brasserie La Choulette's Bière de Garde is a robust blonde farmhouse ale at 8.5% ABV, named after the Sans-Culottes—revolutionary freedom fighters from French history. A fitting tribute for a beer with genuine backbone. The nose brings spice, subtle sweetness and malty character with hints of caramel. On the palate, grainy malt and mild pepper give way to dry mineral notes and a crisp finish that cuts clean. The beer carries itself with restraint despite its strength, avoiding cloying sweetness. This is farmhouse brewing that respects tradition while delivering genuine complexity—a beer for those who value character over smoothness.
