Ille-Et-Vilaine

Beer from here or elsewhere, the choice is declined in more than 300 references of craft beers. Needless to say, you won't know where to turn and the evening with friends will be celebrated with dignity. As far as flavors are concerned, treat yourself with notes of oysters, coffee or honey. Various French, Belgian and Breton breweries are present for the great pleasure of all! If you want to play it local, ask for the ones brewed in La Richardais or in Saint-Méloir-des-Ondes. Luc Fillâtre will gladly share his passion for hops.

In this den, you will not lack advice and explanations on unique beer and food pairings. Alain, a zythologist (beer expert), offers a wide selection of beers from various origins. From Brittany to Belgium, through Europe and the USA. There is something for everyone, from the most classic to the most unusual. Let yourself be tempted by the Sacred Heart 8 from La Débauche with apricot and bergamot or the Coffee To Go from Maltgarden. Beer lovers will also find beers with chili pepper, coconut or others aged in rum barrels. To taste these finds in a friendly atmosphere, go to Alain's bar, Le Sur-Mesure, at 18 rue de Robien.

When two beer-loving friends decided to make a living from their passion, the result was Dourennan: a craft beer cellar on Rue Victor Hugo. More than 150 references are on offer, from local and regional breweries as well as from Belgium and elsewhere. Dourennan means "to hydrate, to salivate" in Breton. The establishment lives up to its name, with the two partners enthusiastically passing on their taste for hops. And because there's no substitute for tasting, a dedicated space is available for afterworks and workshops. We enjoy our beers, accompanied by charcuterie and vegetarian spreads. Not forgetting, of course, a selection to take away with you!

Choice, tempting drinks, all accompanied by a friendly welcome, we're hooked! It's the perfect place to treat yourself and others. You'll hit the nail on the head with the food and wine pairing tips, which give diners that extra something and even enrich conversations. The tasting workshops are top-notch, and it's a great place to discover rum and wine. As you can see, this address is full of finds that will enrich your day-to-day good times! What's more, previews, private sales and group tasting evenings will keep you coming back for more.

This cellar specialized in beers is held by Fabien Lolicar. A name that deserves a visit. Do you know what you get when you have fun changing the order of the syllables? The owner of the place paid tribute to the Gallic word Korma, which means beer. This bar/cave offers more than 200 references from many countries and also 10 beers on draught, three of which change every week. You'll even find natural wine. And to accompany it all, try the planks of local charcuterie and cheese. Keep an eye on the Facebook page for the schedule of concerts, sports broadcasts and tastings organized by Fabien. An address that is good for you.

A paradise for Breton beer lovers! Among the many references, we stop at the Grodziskie, a smoked white beer that is a nod to the Polish origins of Tony, the boss. In addition to the hopped beverage, there is local cider as well as some nuggets such as Ar Menez Are, an organic lemonade with Mont d'Arrée spring water, Beuk Cola ("Beuk" means "burp" in Breton, if you want to know everything!), an organic fair trade cola, Roc'Elf Breton whisky from the Sainte-Colombe brewery or red absinthe from the Awen Nature distillery.

O'VINS AROMES is a delicatessen based in Orgères. Sonia and Benoit, who come from families of shopkeepers and farmers, opened the store with the aim of reviving the traditions of their grandparents. They meticulously select the artisanal products they like, to promote local know-how and create a place for sharing and exchange. Here, the history of each producer is brought to the fore, in a spirit of conviviality and transmission of knowledge. O'VINS AROMES is much more than a grocery store, it's a true tribute to the roots of its founders.
