“De Garde is one of those places that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled into something rare — like a quiet little temple of fermentation tucked into coastal Oregon. No signage screaming at you, no pretension, just a deep sense that something special is happening behind those barrels and bottles.
I had The Purple, and it stopped me in my tracks. It’s the kind of beer that makes you think harder about fruit, about acidity, about what “sour” can really be when it’s done with patience and purpose. Fancy, yes, but not in a way that tries too hard. Saissany, if that’s a word. (If it’s not, it should be. This beer earns its own vocabulary.)
The whole vibe is chill but focused. You’re not here to slam pints. You’re here to taste, to pause, to recalibrate your palate. And honestly, it delivers. Every detail, from the glassware to the aging process, feels considered. If you know, you know. And if you don’t, come here and find out.“
