In Craft Beer We Trust!

This leitmotiv sums up well the spirit of the first artisanal brewery in Brest, which was founded in July 2015 in the Saint-Pierre district, with the declared desire to give back to Brest its brewing know-how. Benoît, at the origin of the project, surrounded by Sébastien, Guillaume and Daniel, also wanted to offer a beer made from local and organic raw materials, part of a short virtuous circuit, to the delight of lovers of traditional beers from all the Biocoop in Brittany.

Their committed and festive project took the form of four recipes: the trapper's beer, Captain Baril, Original Barrel and White Barrel. And because they like to enhance the value of their territory, all their "drêches" (malt grain husks) are offered to the Traon Bihan farm, the last dairy farm in Brest, to feed the cows, whose milk is converted into farm yoghurt to supply the city's canteens, for the happiness of all the children in Brest. This is a committed company that is enjoying a growing and deserved success.
