Overview
In 2012, Linsey and Trevor Rogers founded de Garde Brewing in Tillamook, Oregon. De Garde is often considered the first exclusive spontaneously fermented beer producer in the United States, despite initial intentions to also produce conventional beers. Due to the positive progression of their first three spontaneously fermented batches, the Rogers decided to solely focus on spontaneously fermented beer because it was a "representation of [their] heart and soul" [1] (~11 min in). Their first spontaneously fermented beers were released to the public in 2013 [2].

In general, de Garde produces three recipe types; Berliner weisse/gose-inspired, saison-inspired, and lambic-inspired. As the brewery grows and matures, Rogers plans to phase-down or phase-out the Berliner weisse/gose-inspired beers, giving more focus and attention to saison-inspired and lambic-inspired beers. The former were produced out of necessity for quick turnaround production but it is not where de Garde's heart is. The brewery recognizes the Berliner weisse/gose-inspired beer popularity with customers, therefore still plan to produce several batches per year. The end goal is to have the lambic-inspired beers represent a significant majority of the production [3].
