Helm’s Brewing Releasing En Garde Spring Seasonal 4/4

Spring is finally upon us, and that means we welcome in our spring seasonal release, “En Garde”. This Biere de Garde style, which translates into  ”beer for keeping”, was originally made in French farmhouses in the 1500′s during the winter months to avoid unpredictable wild yeast in the summer. The beer would then be kept until it became warm enough to drink during spring time.

“En Garde” is full of fruity esters that come from the wild yeast and the applewood chips we use in the brewing process. As should be expected from this historic style, “En Garde” is light , fruity, complex, and very refreshing.
