Acadie
(Bière de Garde)
Style
As a Bière de Garde, Acadie offers the style’s prominent malty aroma. A freshly poured beer is highly carbonated and
bronze colored with a nice, thick off-white head. Malty with an underlying caramel sweetness, Acadie finishes medium-dry.
The restrained use of continental hops provides its balanced hop bitterness. The restrained use of elegant Strisselspalt and
Saaz hops offer a perfectly balanced bitterness with a very discreet hop aroma. Acadie is our summer/fall seasonal beer.
ABV ~ 6%

Story
France’s elegant contribution to the world’s beer styles is Bière de Garde - translated it means “beer for keeping” and has
been brewed on farms there for centuries. Just as the French proudly brew their traditional ale, as descendants of survivors
of Le Grand Dérangement we brew an artisanal version we call Acadie - in memory of our Acadian homeland. Acadie offers
the smooth roundness of artisanal farmhouse ale, thus this French style beer is terrific paired with most any cuisine.
Pairs well with:
 Fresh vegetables
 Rich cheeses
 Breads
 Meats
 Salads
We have partnered with and are a proud supporter of Festival Acadiens et Créoles, Acadiana’s premiere celebration of
Cajun and Creole culture. Six pack carriers of Acadie will promote the yearly autumn event held at Lafayette’s Girard Park.
