Blonde, brown, white, amber or even Christmas and March beers, here are beers to damn all the saints: unfiltered, unpasteurized, from a refermentation in bottle. Located in the heart of the Alsatian vineyards, this microbrewery can be visited upon reservation, with a well commented tasting as a bonus. In the summer, when you want to have a little home brew, sit on the terrace! And don't forget to bring back the beers of your choice: sales are made directly on site.

The success story of the chain starts in Lille, in the historic establishment of the station square. Just over 100 years ago, three brewers joined together to create a brewery, a large regional brewery. The next generation will have the great idea of creating a first "brewpub", a micro brewery in the heart of a restaurant. The concept is totally innovative in France. For many years, the company multiplies the creation of new establishments, in the region but also elsewhere in France and even abroad. The concept does not change: mix in the premises and in front of customers varied and craft beers. Today, the group has decided to diversify production by regularly offering éphèmères beers, allowing the brewers of each institution to express their creativity. The complete list of establishments is available on the chain website.

In a beautiful wood-framed establishment, the Brasserie du Pilat is part of a remarkable setting with a terrace opening onto the surrounding countryside. Visits to the brewery are possible to discover the production of this entirely organic drink. The brewery is traditional and the beers, balanced between malty and fruity notes, are brewed with spring water from the Monts du Pilat. Unpasteurized and unfiltered, you will find at the Brasserie du Pilat 8 different beers: 5 blondes and 3 amber as well as seasonal beers such as Giboulée or Fleur de Noël. All beers are produced from malt, spices and hops.

The old castle of Charmois has been entirely renovated by a family with a passion for old stones. The son, Alain Bonnefoy, established his microbrewery there more than a decade ago. He created his own beer, the Charmoy, which is considered the little sister of the Belgian Trappist beer of Orval. To be discovered: a lager, a fermented unfiltered amber beer with a long shelf life, as well as a March beer, in homage to the ancient processes that linked agriculture and brewing. They are made from raw wheat grains produced on the farm and malt.

Yes, there is something divine in the beer production! So, if you became a god, the time of a brassage? This is undoubtedly one of the most pleasant addresses of this banks of the Rhône, overlooking the banks and the numerous barges. A friendly address where you can enjoy good beer, the cellar offers us many Belgian beers that are not often found, but especially an address where you can make yourself a good beer. And this is Smart. To become a brewer, just book a 2-hour slot and be a little inspired. Because if the master of the sites will introduce you to the secrets of the brewing, it will be up to you to compose your beer with the ingredients that will be provided to you according to 5 recipes: The White, the Blonde, the Amber, the Brunette and a Special season. Then, just add yeast to start the fermentation and wait 3 weeks to get your bottled beer back on which it will be taken care of to apply a personalized label. By making someone tasting your beer, you can always say, "It's me who made it" and it is always great.

Grihète takes its name from grihet, the Provencal word for cricket. It has been brewed in Nyons since 2001 at Brasserie Artisanale du Sud, a pioneer of regional microbrewing. Our craft beers are pure malt, with no added coloring, sugar or additives, unpasteurized and fermented on fresh yeast, then kept cold. Choose from a range of bottles rich in flavor and poetry, traditional or original, such as the Blonde au riz du Delta de Camargue. Beer box subscriptions, filler rentals and brewing kits.

A microbrewery in Haut Vallespir created by Pierre Godron, a brewer by profession in his native Belgium and creator of the famous Chouffe. In 2021, he joined forces with a compatriot who had been living in Vallespir for many years, and bought the former Hôtel des Voyageurs in Prats de Mollo. There, he created a blond beer, a skilful brew of hops and barley with aromas of bread and apricot: "La Senyor Voltor". Named after a vulture that, according to legend, only the bears of Vallespir could see. A Belgian beer with beautiful Catalan notes!

Brown, white, amber, blonde... The microbrewer Odile Bondier can boast of having a production of beers labeled Nature et Progrès which translates its will to reach the "zero waste", in particular through the intermediary of returnable bottles. Its beers are made with local raw materials. The brewer as well as the beers are known for their character and their conviction. To taste her production, you can also go to the market of Avallon.

Bertrand Burcklé has been brewing his organic beer in Rontalon for almost 20 years. He makes it with barley from the neighboring fields of Soucieux and Orliénas. The hops are bought, but the whole transformation chain is done on site. It is possible to visit the laboratory and to discover the 3 stages of production: malting, brewing and double fermentation. Three types of beers are produced (blonde, amber and red), to be brought back in bottles or in 5 or 30 liter barrels.

This brewery is the very first in the region to have obtained organic certification. An important label for its founder, Mathieu Lepoutre, who uses only organic products in order to control their origin and quality. At the heart of the Ferme du Sens, the artisan brewers of Les Moulins d'Ascq are therefore busy creating organic, artisanal beers full of flavour. In 2015, their triple received a bronze medal at the Concours Agricole. But their whites, blondes and ambers are not to be outdone. Not to mention the IPA.

A tradition that has been carried on in the De Clerck family for more than two hundred years. Here you will discover the main stages in the production of regional beers that have been recognised by connoisseurs for their qualities and aromas.

A brewer in the Tarn ? Yes, you read that right! This micro-brewery was born from the passion of Stéphane, who is hopped from head to toe. He will tell you the techniques of beer making in the middle of his machines, which are also very artisanal, and will teach you how to taste a beer, as one does with wine. Libertine (blonde), Clandestine (blonde), Délinquante (brown), Tout ô black (brown), Bulles de Vignes and Vent d'Ange (2 gueuze type beers), these beers have the "Nature et Progrès" label. I love this brewer!

When you love your country as much as Vincent Ney does, it's no surprise that his products have a distinctly local flavour. His craft brewery offers classic beers, but that's not all: there's a whole range to match the finest gastronomy. You'll have the choice of flavors from Jura grape varieties, as well as coffee and cocoa. It's essential to discover this brasserie and have this enthusiast explain his philosophy and creations to you. The only risk is that you'll get a taste for it... in moderation.

It has a good reputation among beer lovers!

Drink on the terrace or in the large room with its wooden tables and benches, with a gourmet plate or a mountain specialty. Alpen-Cola and homemade lemonade with local spring water.

Welcome to the temple of craft beer, local and eco-responsible! Conceived by Pierre-André Zimmermann and Aymeric Segard, the Tandem Brewery proves that it is possible to produce differently. Here, the malts are organic, the energy is green, the water is reused and the spent grain (cereal residue) is given to a farmer. The two friends have imagined light beers with little alcohol, but with a strong aromatic power. Attrape-Nigaud, Bonne-Pioche, Poule-Mouillée... : these are the names chosen for the first beers. The Tandem universe is joyful and colorful!

If beer is fashionable, Grenoble has a long tradition of brewing, and this is where the Brasserie du Dauphiné comes into its own. Vincent Gachet created Brasserie du Dauphiné over 20 years ago to perpetuate the passion passed down by his grandparents, who worked at the Frise brewery. Using a name famous throughout the Dauphiné, Mandrin, he produces exceptional beers, notably using local produce such as Dauphiné walnuts and water from the Grenoble region! Enjoy Mandrin with walnuts, fir, hemp, Chartreuse plants and honey... Organic beers, seasonal beers, Face Nord beers, a house brand for refreshment, and Nobow, creative beers.

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.

Sharing a convivial moment over a good glass is part of the French heritage. Whether you prefer beer, wine or whisky, you're bound to find what you're looking for in this vast cellar, and you can rely on Philippe's advice.

Beer lovers will also find plenty to their liking, with a wide range of reds, blondes and browns, mainly from Belgium and Germany. Futé: oenology courses and tasting evenings organized on a regular basis.

A microbrewery, KS offers a wide range of craft beers with assertive and surprising tastes. Blonde, white, IPA, brown, HOP, rousse and a Christmas beer are just some of the beers on offer from these passionate brewers, who practice the art of brewing as a sideline. That's why their production, like their opening hours, is limited. The various beers are produced according to the traditional Alsatian method, i.e. low fermentation with an alcohol content that varies but is slightly higher than that of Belgian beers.

It is the story of a passion and a beautiful adventure that led to the creation of this brewery. Here, everything is organic and local, including the nearby green printing house that takes care of the labels. The electricity supplier is Planète oui (100% renewable electricity supplier).

Sale on site and through the network of retailers on the website.

In the land of Per Jakez Helias and Hénaff pâté, in an old farmhouse with an undeniable cachet, Patrick Daniel (the first brewer in the Bigouden region in 1999!) brews traditional, top-fermented, pure malt, unfiltered beers in vats from Wales. There are five types of beer from Penhors: amber, blonde, brown, white and stout. About 400 hl/year come out of the Bigouden vats. And since a few years, a delicious organic lemonade is also made on the spot! A very nice discovery.

To learn more about the production process (and to participate in a small tasting), we advise you to follow a guided tour!

Alexandre opened his microbrewery offering only 50cl beers to be shared by 2. He wanted to identify his blonde, brown and amber beers with fun names like Petit Mousse, Capitaine Habbock and Capitaine Glouglou. He plans to work on more unusual products, trying to produce a white beer with ginger, to offer ephemeral products, to make things more diversified, and a little more fun. He is present at local farmers' markets and offers a home delivery service.

The microbrewery L'Opercule is located in a valley of the Vosges mountains, the ex-principality of Salm. It was created by two friends, Damien Froment and Maxime Clasquin. First beekeepers, they had the idea to propose organic beers with honey. And it is with their own honey that they brew their beverage. The honey allows to carbonate the beer and to soften the bitterness. The sugar disappears to make room for subtle honey fragrances with a floral aftertaste. They started the production with a blond beer made with organic honey from their beehives.

Arnaud, a farmer-brewer, offers you his organic craft beers made on his farm in Garrigues, from organically grown cereals and hops.

The story of the Brasserie de Vaucelles is a story of friendship between Benjamin and Alexis. Together, they embarked on a hopping adventure with a fixed idea: to succeed in (re) creating an artisanal abbey beer, made with local products. Installed in an old abbey (precisely), the success seems to be there with beautiful products: the Prima beer (light), a blond abbey beer brewed with only four ingredients or the Triple and its 4 different malts. A nice project to follow closely!

That's why at the beer cellar Aux fûts percés you will be perfectly guided by specialists.

Also goodies, glasses or magnums.

Beer lover and lover of his land, Aubrac and the Lot Valley, Sébastien Blaquière created the Brasserie d'Olt in his native village, Saint-Geniez d'Olt, in 1998. His beers and soft drinks - lemonades and colas - are made with water from the Boraldes and the Aubrac mountains. A range of beers, blond, white or amber, is dedicated to the plateau and its wild side. The organic lemonades with chestnut or gentian are also an ode to the natural wealth of the territory. In summer, visits to the brewery end with a tasting.

Working locally to make beer in the Loiret is a challenge. The Brasserie des Écluses is keeping up the good work! The Blonde, the Amber, the Brown, the White and finally the Pils are born progressively and all in a well anchored style. Without forgetting the Vitry Hole, a beer with Olivet pear brandy: a whole gustatory program.

Is it possible to make a "beer" from 100% local cereals? Yes, thanks to an exclusive process created by an innovative brewery, Brasserie Dulion. A brewery like no other, since it has decided to reinvent the brewing tradition in Rillieux-la-Pape. The idea is to brew from raw cereals (not malted), harvested in the region and organically grown. The result is an original range, with a Blonde 100% buckwheat (gluten-free), a blanche 100% spelt, a NEIPA 100% rye, and many other original recipes. Since last year, you can admire the brewery from its bar (evenings and privatizations on request).
