A rustic, fruit-driven Bière de Garde from Scratch Brewing Company in Ava, Illinois, Wild Cherry brings Scratch’s distinctive Southern Illinois farmhouse character to the classic French-inspired style. Brewed with locally foraged wild cherries, the beer layers bright, tart cherry fruit over a rich malt foundation with notes of toasted grain, subtle caramel, earthy spice and gentle farmhouse character. The wild fruit adds complexity and a distinctly local sense of place without overwhelming the underlying beer. A creative, small-batch farmhouse ale showcasing Scratch’s signature use of ingredients harvested from the forests and fields surrounding the brewery
