La Choulette Ambrée
An amber-dark biere de garde. A beautiful clean taste, with a lot of malt.
Une choulette is the ball used in this traditional game of the region. This beer has been Champion Biere de Garde and a Platinum Medal Winner.
8.0% ABV
La Choulette Blonde
As above but more in the style of Sans Culottes a lighter lager with oomph.
7.5% ABV
La Choulette Brune
As above, but this deep, rich, brown beer has been made from highly roasted malt, giving it a chocolatey, malty flavour. This is reminiscent of the full-bodied, rich milds which were traditionally made in the North of England.
Once tasted, incredibly moreish.
ABV 7.5%
Bière des Sans Culottes
Made in the tradition of artisan brewers, Sans Culottes is a blonde beer sur lie. Probably the best bière de garde for the uninitiated to start with.
Packed in a 75 cls bottle with a wired-down cork, Sans Culottes sports a brilliantly eye-catching label showing a revolutionary soldier proudly wearing his pantalons, having wisely forsaken his culottes for the coming struggle.
7.0% ABV
Great to offer a Blonde Organic Biere de Garde. Crisp and clean.
7.5% ABV
La Choulette Double IPA
Deep tan hues with caramel sort of nutty flavour good nose and long taste finish.
8% ABV
Triboulette
A traditionally made lager style beer, a sort of junior Sans Culottes. This beer is bottle conditioned and has a fantastic flavour which you won’t find in a tin.
5.0% ABV
This is another huge biere from our favourite small producer. It is a blonde style with incredible length and finish.
8.3% ABV
An Abbaye beer brewed by Brasserie Choulette. This is a blonde style of Biere de Garde, flavoursome but with a soft, subtle finish.
7.5% ABV
A wheat beer from Brasserie La Choulette made in the traditional style – good flavour but without the awesome strength of his biere de gardes.
5% ABV
A fruit version of this excellent Biere de Garde with only natural crushed raspberry juice added. You have to taste to believe the full fruity effect.
6% ABV
La Choulette Peche
A fruit version of this excellent Biere de Garde with only natural crushed peach juice added.
5% ABV
A swashbuckling Blonde Biere de Garde to commemorate the Musketeer who originated from the North of France It is rich full flavoured but dry biere.
8.5% ABV
Only in 75cl. It’s a Biere Exceptional. A rRather mischievous label, this Biere is brewed in the same manner as all Choulette bieres but has extra hops to produce what the master brewer describes as a ½ IPA. Although strong it has a crisp clean flavour.
8 % ABV.
This Ambre is a darker style, halfway between Blonde and Brune with heaps of flavour and a bit of a kick . This features the new Risque labelling with the lady certainly not overdressed.
9% ABV
A lager though a little stronger than most. This is crisp light and refreshing, wih a full hoppy flavour. Let us hope that the barrel does not have any splinters.
6% ABV
This continues the risqué lack of Culottes. It is a Blonde biere but with a rich golden colour and quite concentrated malt and hops. A sit back and enjoy beer.
