Ever tried a “bier de garde”? Here’s a great example of the style brewed by New Belgium Brewing. Full of spicy flavor, it really leaves a bite. The yeast creates a “horse blanket” quality called brettanomyces- giving the beer an earthy and hay-like flavor.
It sounds strange, but it’s really pretty delicious. Kudos to New Belgium! Cheers!

This is sitting in my fridge right now awaiting the BAAM treatment. Good to know that other people are enjoying it.
