Bayou Teche’s Barrel Aged Honey Beer Returns
Wild Honey. That’s what Bayou Teche Biere’s Miel Sauvage means when you translate it. The brew uses local Louisiana honey from the brewery’s neighbor Bernard Apiaries. Sauvage is inspired by French farmhouse breweries making Biere de Mel or honey beers.
Miel Sauvage is Cajun French for wild honey and our Biere de Miel is fermented with honey from our neighbor, Bernard’s Apiaries and with barley imported from France. This mahogany colored beer has a pronounced honey aroma and is barrel aged to contribute a smooth vanilla oakiness..
Bayou Teche Miel Sauvage is available in 22oz bombers, and draft.
Style: Honey Ale (Barrel Aged. Whiskey.)
Malts: Pale, Caramel, Munich
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft. Late summer/Fall seasonal.
9% ABV
Jester King Releases Biere de Miel This Week
The latest release by Jester King Brewery (Austin, TX) is a honey based beer called Biere De Miel.
Biere de Miel or “honey beer” is brewed, fermented and naturally conditioned with raw Texas wildflower honey from Good Flow Honey Co. Interestingly, this beer was brewed on December 3rd, 2013. Biere de Miel is a product of long, slow fermentation.
With wild fermentation at our brewery, we don’t always know when a beer will be ready. The analogy we like to use is that a farmer can’t plant her/his crops in the spring and say, “I’m going to harvest them on the third Monday in September.” Nature doesn’t behave that way.
Jester King Biere de Miel will be available Friday, June 6th at 4 pm. The artwork for Bière de Miel was done by by Josh Cockrell of Jester King. It features Head Brewer Garrett Crowell riding over the Texas Hill Country on a giant bee.
Style: Honey Beer
Availability: 750ml bottles. 3000 bottles produced
Arrival: 6/7/14
5.8% ABV
