Biere de garde is a style from Northern France, malty, strong in alcohol and with a lean body to enhance drinkability. Deep golden in colour it exhibits flavours of malt, white stone fruit and spice . This is the kind of beer that would have been drunk in high quantities by the sailors of Lapérouse from Kamchatka to Australia. The legend goes that the beer took them off course and therefore reached Botany bay eight days after the first fleet.
