One of Scratch Brewing’s signature beers, Chanterelle Bière de Garde is a malty farmhouse ale brewed with over 100 pounds of chanterelle mushrooms foraged from the woods behind the brewery. The mushrooms contribute distinctive notes of apricot, earth and cellar-like funk, complemented by caramel malt character and a crisp, clean finish. A wonderfully unusual expression of Southern Illinois terroir and one of the beers that helped establish Scratch’s reputation for creative, foraged brewing
