Les Brasseurs de Gayant: The indigenous French beer style

Les Brasseurs de Gayant is a family-owned independent brewery founded in 1919 in the Norde-Pas-de-Calais region of northern France. The area is known for Biere de Garde - beer for storage - the only beer style indigenous to France and one of the rarest in the world. Historically, this style of beer has been brewed in farmhouses during the winter and stored for drinking in the summer.

Southern represents the brewer's La Goudale, Amadeus and La Divine brands, which are appropriate for French restaurants and other higher-end on-sale accounts. All styles are perfect for food pairing. Featuring cork and swing-top closures, these beers may be sold like fine wine to create a unique drinking experience. What's more, Les Brasseurs de Gayant beers make a great addition to a retailer's single-serve section. The 18-month shelf life guarantees these beers will be fresh.
