TASTING NOTES
BIERE DE GARDE is a style from Northern France, malty, strong in alcohol and with a lean body to enhance drinkability. Dark red in color, it exhibits a toasty maltiness and caramelised flavours of dark stone fruits. This is the kind of beer that would have been drunk in high quantities by the sailors of the famous ship ASTROLABE that arrived in Australia only eight days after the first fleet.
BREWERY SNAPSHOT
In every restaurant kitchen and brewery they’ve worked since arriving in Australia, owners Thomas and Vince have always been called ‘Frenchies’. As two ‘Frenchies’ living in Australia, with an immense love of the Australian lifestyle and its people, they decided to adapt their Parisian bistronomy culture to the Australian taste and terroir.
DID YOU KNOW?
Frenchies have a fantastic bistro at their brewery in Rosebery, NSW. Everything is made from scratch, food and beers, from fresh seasonal produce.
