E-Malt.com News article: USA, LA: Bayou Teche Brewing releases Acadie Biere

Arnaudville’s Bayou Teche Brewing is releasing Acadie, the brewery’s second seasonally produced beer, The Full Pint reported on August, 13.

Crafted for Louisiana’s busy fall festival season, this limited edition beer pays homage to the Canadian homeland of Acadiana’s Cajun population. Acadie is brewed as a Bičre de Garde – a centuries old French style of farmhouse seasonal brew.

“France’s elegant contribution to the world’s beer styles is Bičre de Garde – translated it means “beer for keeping” and has been brewed on French farms for centuries. Just as the French proudly brew their traditional ale, we have crafted an artisanal version we call Acadie – in memory of our Acadian homeland,” Bayou Teche’s Karlos Knott said.

Bičre de Gardes are infrequently imported to the States because they are brewed in such small batches that local demand ensures most are consumed near France’s breweries. These French beers are traditionally crafted during the winter and aged for many months creating a dry and smooth beer.

Acadie is Bayou Teche Brewing’s fall seasonal and approaches 6% ABV, with an IBU of 20.
The limited edition, seasonal batch of Bayou Teche Brewing’s Acadie is now available in six packs and kegs across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and soon in Georgia.
