La Goudale is a bière de garde which was originally brewed in Douai (northern France) by Les Brasseurs de Gayant. The brewery has since moved to Arques.
Its name derives from "good ale", the name given to local ales in the 14th century.[1] It is a top-fermented beer of 7.2% ABV. It consists of three Flemish hop varieties, two malt varieties (pale and caramel), two other cereals (wheat and rice) and spices (coriander and bitter orange peels).
As the brewery now also makes beers which were inherited as a result of mergers, in the section products there will be beers which were not traditionally made by Goudale.
