Biere de Garde

This beer, the brewery’s masterpiece, proudly pays homage to Les Sans Culottes – the “trouserless” craftsmen who could not afford uniforms but unflinchingly did the handiwork of the French Revolution. A number of brewers were included in their ranks. It is a golden brew, much esteemed for its rich, enticing champagne-like bouquet, and its rewarding flavor is slightly fruity and delicate, yet deep and fully satisfying. Four-star, world-classic French bière de garde with the classic label.

Brewed in the Franco-Belgian tradition of strong golden ales. Spicy and peppery with a gentle hop bouquet and beguiling influence of wild yeast.

In 1991, the brewery decided to revive an old custom harking back to the 14th century when there were no means of refrigeration. Beer was then traditionally brewed in early December and stored over the winter under naturally cool conditions. The first barrels were only opened in March, as the days started to become warmer. It has a fresh, springlike bouquet with dominant tones of malt and grains. It is made using a top fermentation yeast, malted barley and newly harvested Alsation hops. With 5.4% alcohol by volume, it is a pure malt beer that is highly refreshing. It has a fine white head and clear golden colour, a dominant hoppy taste with a hint of fruitiness. Best served between 5 and 6°C.

A sustaining beer that is brewed to comfort in the gusty ides of March and welcome in a wealth of warmer weather.

The festive season just wouldn’t be the same without this speciality beer whose arrival is always long-awaited. The tradition of Christmas beers is particular to northern Europe. In the years following the Second World War, the breweries used to sell an original, richer and stronger beer at the same price as year-round beers: this was their gift to their customers. The Duycks have perpetuated this custom by creating a special beer sold at the usual price. Produced with more malt than Jenlain Ambrée (3 different types of malt made from French grown barley and 3 varieties of the most aromatic hops from Alsace), this top fermented, unpasteurized beer, best served at between 6 and 8°C, has a rich amber glow, a denser head and stronger alcohol content (6.8% alcohol by volume). Darker than the traditional amber beer, its torrefied undertones are reminiscent of flowers and caramel. And the 2002 Christmas beer had a hint of orange.

Bigger & Bretter begins its life as a traditional Biere de Garde or “beer for keeping”. This style originates from the French region of Nord-Pas-de-Calais and was originally brewed in farmhouses during the cooler months like their more well-known Belgian sister-brews: Saisons. We gave Bigger & Bretter an extra layer of depth and complexity by bottle conditioning with the wild yeast Brettanomyces. This elegant copper-colored brew is sure to delight Belgian ale lovers, and will continue to evolve in the bottle for years to come!
