Gourmet products Beer and brewery Indre-Et-Loire

This place is a real Ali Baba's cave of beer, with local brands and other countries. There are several hundred references, to be tasted on the spot before buying, as well as related products (glasses, trays, t-shirts, goodies). You can even rent a beer tapping machine for private parties or stop by at lunchtime for a home-cooked meal accompanied by a good beer in a bistronomic spirit. From time to time, the evenings come alive with a concert or a tasting workshop. The place has its regulars, so don't forget to make a reservation to eat there.

In May 2003, Ludovic and Stéphane Hardouin created this microbrewery. Today, they produce beers typically from Tours: La Loirette, La Salamandre and many others. Pure malt beers, neither filtered nor pasteurized. This is why a slight deposit can be observed at the bottom of the bottle. We knew Touraine and its wines. From now on, we will have to count on its beers! It is a pity that the installations of this brewery are not open to the visit.

The family brewery moved from Cormery to Tauxigny in early 2020. The beer's name "Turone" comes from the name of the Gallic people who lived in Touraine, the Turons, and who gave their name to the city of Tours. The vast premises include a production area, a tasting bar and now a boutique selling local products. White, blonde, amber and brown, Turone beers are available to suit all tastes. Here you'll find handcrafted beers, made with respect for the brewing process: from crushing to tasting!

For beer lovers, Une Gabare à Husseau offers a wide range of blond, amber and seasonal beers. All are brewed on site with local ingredients: elderflower, honey, wild hops... Valérie, Frédéric and Jéremy will show you their work during a tour of the microbrewery, and enthusiasts will be able to immerse themselves in the brewer's skin for a day. On the Loire bike route, a place and original products to discover for a change from the region's unmissable wines.

It's not just wine that's popular in the Loire Valley. The La Minute Blonde franchise offers a wide selection of brown, blond, amber and red beers. Both a cellar and a bar, La Minute Blonde allows you to taste on the premises or buy your own bottles. It's also a great place to party, with concerts and other themed evenings on offer all year round. It's particularly lively for St. Patrick's Day and Oktoberfest! And don't forget our beer taps for private events. Here, time flies.

Not far from Amboise Castle, Art Is An Ale Brewing is a new kind of brewery. Katie and Matthieu are the link between France and the United States. This Franco-American couple brews their own American-style craft beers with French raw materials (including malt from the Indre region). 4 beers are produced all year round and several seasonal beers. There is something for everyone! Don't hesitate to stop by, in the restaurant or on the terrace, to share a beer, a board and, on certain evenings, darts or board games.
