A bend of French style Biere de Garde and English style Old Ale, Provision has a profile reminiscent of several historic brews but remains distinct onto itself. The Biere de Garde portion was openly fermented with the brewery’s house lager yeast at 60 F, producing a full, malty base that maintained a crisp finish. That was blended post fermentation with the old ale, then put back into the cask for over one year where it gained a bit of acidity and aged flavors that give the Provision a layered depth that’s fun to pick apart. Inspired by the great Liefmans Goudenband, the Provision will cellar well like the classic from Oudenaarde.
