de Garde Brewing was founded by husband and wife duo Trevor and Lindsey Rogers in 2013. They specialize in barrel aging and using wild yeast from the Oregon Coast to make some of the most complex and sought after beers in the world. In fact, in 2016, they were awarded 5th best brewery in the world.

Most of their beers are aged from 6 months up to 5 YEARS!

However, before the beer goes into barrels and fruit is added at times, the wort of the beer gets put into a coolship. A cool ship is a large rectangular open-air storage unit where the beer can cool for 24-72 hours and pick up the naturally occurring microflora in the air resulting in spontaneous fermentation. de Garde uses special fans to direct the airflow in the brew house to sort of direct the natural occurring fermentation. And the end goal is to produce a very balanced acidity for their sour beers.

In 2017, de Garde announced that they are finally taking the steps to make wine. Something, Trevor and Lindsey wanted to do for a long time.

As of now, they have 4 wines available and you can try them at Belmont Station on Monday October 21st!
