This wild ale is a cider and beer hybrid, born from the mutual respect and similarities between Baird & Dewar Farmhouse Cider and our brewery. Last Fall, Zeb Dewar met us at our brewery with a large amount of local, fresh pressed cider apple juice and mature, barrel fermented and aged wild/natural cider. We blended each into oak casks with our spontaneously fermented beer that had been maturing in barrel for an average of 18 months. After 6 months further fermentation in this secondary oak vessel, the beer was transferred and blended, then naturally conditioned in bottle for nearly another 6 months. Nearly three years in the making, we are excited to finally share this effort with you.

Located on the Oregon Coast, de Garde Brewing is dedicated to unique offerings. Our craft draws on historic traditions and local experimentation.
