De Garde Brewing, located in Tillamook, Oregon, is a small, family-run brewery exclusively dedicated to spontaneously fermented and oak barrel-aged beers, inspired by the lambic traditions of Belgium and France. Founded in 2013 by Trevor and Linsey Rogers, the brewery chose its coastal location for its rich native microflora, which enables fermentation without the use of lab-cultured yeast.

The brewing process begins in open-air coolship vessels, where the hot wort is cooled and naturally inoculated with wild yeasts from the surrounding environment. It is then transferred into large oak barrels for fermentation and maturation, a process that can last anywhere from several months to over three years.

De Garde is known for its deep commitment to local ingredients, patience, and minimal intervention, allowing nature to guide the creation of each beer. The result is a lineup of complex, layered, and fruit-forward beers with refreshing, balanced acidity and moderate alcohol content - highly regarded by enthusiasts of wild ales as an authentic expression of the Pacific Northwest terroir.
