Deep within the tangled brush of the Ardennes mountains, Genevieve lay hidden in a cave. Each passing season was plagued with fear-perhaps her husband had not survived the war. With summer, came the young groom and, at last, the couple was reunited. Their love was stronger and even richer than before. 

Like the French heroine, this Biere de Garde was cloaked in Cabernet barrels, awaiting the sweet taste of liberation. 

Each delicious sip proved that the greatest joys in life are absolutely worth the wait.

This beer is extremely complex with layers of sweetness, caramel, fig, raisin, infused with vanilla and berry from the wine barrels. It can handle some age so don’t be afraid to stash a few bottles away.
