Castelain is the classic example of
the rare Blonde Bière de Garde style, and is the biggest seller from the brewery. Castelain has a sweet palate and a great deal of finesse. It is sweet, slightly bitter, grassy and herbal— made with four types of hops. Castelain is conditioned a minimum of 6 to 10 weeks to develop aroma and flavor.
Great with food!
Pair with classic dishes of Picardie, French Flanders and Artois, and the dishes of Champagne and the French Ardennes: endives au gratin, eild duck with pommes reinettes, anguilles (eel) au vert, terrine of fish, salsify salad, boudin blanc, omelettes, goat cheeses, with kidney, stuffed mushrooms, rumpsteak braised in beer, classic carbonnade, eggs poached in ale, rustic country pates of all sorts. This beer has never met gastro-pub fare it hasn’t liked.
