After several years in Gratot, a few kilometres away, Captain James is now in Agon-Coutainville, joining a larger space to develop his activities. These are well known locally: the brewing of beers, which come in all colours: white, blonde, red and brown, not forgetting IPA, with its distinctive aroma. You can find them on site from Thursday to Saturday, or at the Coutainville market. You can also visit the premises on the first Saturday of each month. Note that bottles are returnable.

The microbrewery principle is developed here, and we know how to do it! And with good reason: after several years of amateur brewing, it was time to move up a gear, and for good reason: excellent vintages are developed here. From grain crushing to bottle labelling and fermentation, everything is done locally. Blonde, amber or brown, they're well worth a try! Fée d'Orge has numerous distribution outlets.

Brewery La Loup Bar has been offering its excellent beers for five years now: the friends who decided to take up the challenge of producing and distributing these delicacies have certainly done the right thing.

Several hundred liters of beer are brewed monthly by the team of workers at the bitter, a microbrewery that is no longer so micro, and which has gradually gained many fans.

Here's a craft brewery in the heart of Avranches. Specialising in organic brewing, it's the brainchild of Thomas Delenclos. Here, water is recycled and only the best products are used.

Chinquante: no, there's no extra letter in this name, it's just the way of saying (and writing) the number of the Manche department in local dialect! And that's not all, because Chinquante is also the name of an incredible variety of beers, developed and produced in Saint-Vaast! Launched by a group of young enthusiasts, the business not only offers pale and amber beers, but also a number of original creations, some of which are made in secret. The latter won awards at the last Salon de l'Agriculture!

It's a great story, which confirms the potential of the Manche region in terms of great small breweries. Helped by participative financing and many friends, the young Martin Prieur defines himself as a "brewer farmer". And for good reason: his beers are entirely organic.

You will find the beers in many sales outlets.

Among the many beers made in the Manche, in Hauteville, it is the Moussette that you will find.

The complex includes a nice beach bar, open every day in summer.

Beer lovers will find plenty to satisfy their cravings in the Cotentin region. One of the latest offerings is from Brasserie de l'Ouve: this craft microbrewery was created by Nicolas Marchand, a native of the region with a passion for the subject.

Although the company doesn't currently have a boutique, you can find these beers at local markets and events.

Brasserie de la Baie has quickly become a solid reference! For many years now, under the leadership of Christophe Lesénéchal, dozens of hectolitres have been produced.
