Craft breweries and microbreweries Franche-Comté

Elixkir: a nice contraction that is not without reminding the famous canon. Born in 2015 from the imagination and talent of Amélia and Guillaume - a brewer from Dijon - this brewery welcomes true beer lovers. Elaborated and brewed according to the traditional method, the beers have names as evocative as they are amusing: Le Péché du chanoine, La Rude école, Ibu profana, or Tirami Stout for a beer at the café, to name but a few. Depending on whether you are a redhead, brunette or blonde, don't hesitate to ask for advice, the welcome is charming.

Nicolas Poirier, who holds a master's degree in fermentation processes for the food industry, set up his own brewery after several years' experience in regional breweries. His ambition is to enlighten us about good beers by taking us on a journey. Arcane, the 6-degree blonde, is an abbey-style Belgian beer. Shangri La, the white beer with its hint of ginger, provides all the freshness you could wish for. Brune, a British porter at 6°, adds a hint of cocoa. Located 10 minutes from Dijon, the brewery has a production capacity of 150 to 300 hl per year.

Fayyar is a microbrewery created in 2020 in the heart of one of the great wine villages of the Auxerrois. Simon, Romain and Élise offer you their organic and local beers. Do not hesitate to go and taste them; they are worth the detour! Above all, you can also visit the place and discover the work of these young and friendly brewers. By appointment, they will show you the raw materials used, but also all the stages of production along their beautiful cellars of the XIVth century. With a tasting at the end, of course!

La Kanopée is a microbrewery born from the passion of Thierry Kniebiher. The bar-terrace area adjacent to the brewery allows visitors to taste the beers on site. In 2024, 6 beer recipes are permanently available, with a clear brewing preference for Pale Ale. In addition to this permanent collection of quality beers, Thierry creates new recipes according to the season or his inspiration of the moment. You'll find an incredible Cacao-Griottes Stout, an organic blackcurrant beer from Burgundy or even the unmissable Christmas beer!

Brasserie de France, 10,000 hectolitres/year, has created a "Bière Expériences" workshop open to individuals and employees. The concept is simple: 20 people brew their own beer for 4 hours. After 21 days, they get their beer back. Understand the differences between beers, find out what an IPA is... Here's a workshop to make, learn, analyze, but also decipher its tasting and of course enjoy! Other workshops are available: brewing and tasting workshops, introduction to zythology, beer and wine tasting..

L'Épicerie Comptoir is welcoming, with its trendy decor and delicatessen feel. Here you'll find all your daily essentials: organic bulk produce, condiments and a number of local artisanal products. Bonus: a fine selection of Auxois wines, highlighting the region's little-known know-how. In the beer department, there's La Voûte, brewed under the grocery store where the micro-brewery is located. Of particular note: the attractive coffee and pastry tasting area, and even a daily menu on certain dates.

The Flavigny Brewery was created by a group of passionate friends, including Cyril Raveau, Cellar Master and Guillaume Souloumiac, Brewmaster. The brewery is equipped with a state-of-the-art production tool with 14 tanks of 10 hl each, and has a production capacity of 140,000 liters. The beers have the particularity of not having fermentation in the bottle. White, Blonde, IPA, NEIPA and winter beer, there is something for everyone. The brewery has a store, a tasting room and a covered terrace of 300 m² with an incredible view!

A short while ago, Alexis and Vianney embarked on a crazy adventure: creating a microbrewery in Chablis from Burgundy malts. Their beers are 100% organic, like "Porte Romane", which won the title of "Best Blonde in France". Or "Vintage", a limited series of beers aged in Chablis Premiers and Grands Crus oak barrels. Not forgetting "Rives du Serein", of course. There's a cosy bar where you can discover them all on site. You can also visit the brewery. It's worth noting that many establishments in the region have added Maddam to their menus.

In this former flour mill, the beers are home-brewed, an artisanal microbrewery concept created by brothers Pierre-Elie and Quentin, brewers for 10 years. Opposite the Cité de la Gastronomie, discover this large space with a bar, exposed vats and large tables in an industrial-style planted decor. Wines, fruit juices and plates are also on the menu. In addition to being a friendly bar, Un Singe en Hiver combines pleasure and culture, with a 150 m² exhibition space upstairs dedicated to digital arts and contemporary music.

This brewery has replaced the former bar-restaurant of the village. It is the work of Anaïs who has given back to this place its role of economic and social lung. She has started to produce top-fermented, unfiltered, unpasteurized beers that are refermented in the bottle. It works a bit like the Anglo-Saxon way to obtain light foams, but with character. The spring water is local, the cereals largely comtoises, the hops Alsatian and English. 5 permanent beverages come out of the brewery, including of course "La Dam'Naïs"!

Two Dudes is an unusual place that combines the art of beer and gastronomy. Come and discover Pierre's fine range of beers, or sample (by reservation only) Amandine's unique dishes amidst the brewery vats. Rely on this globe-trotting duo, who have worked their way up through the ranks of the world's finest Michelin-starred chefs, to take you on a voyage of discovery thanks to their stunning food and beer pairings. Here's a good idea: the apéro (survival) kit with everything you need for a quick aperitif, plus a "home chef" mode.

If you're a beer lover, then it's impossible to pass through Vézelay without taking a break, down in the village, at this independent microbrewery installed in 2019. Here, all the beers are brewed and bottled by hand in small quantities. Thus, each vintage is unique and composed of ingredients from organic farming. Among those proposed, we like the "Cuvée Blonde bio" with ginger, as well as the brunette with spices. Two very nice discoveries, among a generous and tempting offer!

In the heart of Irancy, La Cuverie brewery opened its doors in the old village school. Camille and Lucile, master brewer and brewer, create organic beers with a variety of styles and a unique character. La Cuverie also has a small shop where you can buy the beers directly from the brewery, as well as a nice terrace in summer to enjoy them with friends or family! Finally, these craft brewers also await you every weekend on the two most beautiful markets of the Yonne, those of Chablis and Toucy.

VIF beers were born in 2021 from the will of Thomas and Lara to differentiate themselves with character and modernity. We understand it by the choice of the can as container, by the aesthetics of the very artistic and colored labels realized by a watercolorist, before tasting them. The recipes are inspired by German beers with low fermentation and low alcohol content or hoppy and aromatic beers. Tomas confides in us his project to create a taproom; in the meantime, the pleasure is there with each sip!

Sébastien Crelier believes that beer is more than a drink, but an art and that with his beer you will never look bad again! It must be admitted that the young brewer has a "good face" which is rather cheerful. The Haut-Doubiste from Pontarlier claims to brew beers that are sparkling with joy and that appeal to the eye as well as the palate. He prepares them with 100% organic barley. 5 regular references are available for sale, in 33 cl or even in casks. He will even convince you to try a new dessert called "Bièramistu"!

Romain Branger and Julien Maillot launched this brewery 6 years ago. Their "Baboon", which comes in a variety of flavors, is all the rage. The original spirit hasn't changed, and their effervescent liquid creations are still inspired by jungles and flowery fields. This exoticism is particularly evident in Banana bomba. Today, the range includes at least 8 references from 5° (Bloody monkey) to 9° (Colère du babouin). You'll also find what you're looking for in Jungle Spring, Tropicaliste, Chica pop and Kokomo.

Dimitri Morin opened his brewery in 2009 on the Jura plateau. He strives for balanced flavors and avoids bitterness: his range comprises a dozen references, including 5 main ones named after their characteristics. These include Doubseur (white beer), Doubsdoune (blond beer with spices) and Doubsloureuse (intense brown beer). There's also Doubszen, the Doubsdoune at Christmas. 60% of production is destined for the regional market, either in the cellar or on the terrace during lively, musical evenings!

This is the story of three boys: Alexandre Faupin, Mr Technical, Nicolas Seyve, Mr Production, and Jean-David Camus, Mr Image, who had in common the love of beer and their beloved town of Beaune. In May 2014, they therefore founded a brewery. There were no more since the 1950 s. They named him Belenium, in tribute to the Gallic god of harmony and beauty, the Apollo of our ancestors. Legend tells us that Bélénos would have given his name to Beaune. The "Blonde" is light, fine, slightly spicy and fruity. Very nice in the mouth! Arrive at the Amber Beer No. 2 and Christmas No. 3. They will be numbered in the order of their creation. Pasteurisées and non-filtered beers, carried out in small quantities and refermentées, a graphic charter that recalls the epoxy roofs of Beaune and a currency: causa nostrae laetitiae, "the first cause of joy", which takes over the first motto of the city of Beaune. All elements of a future great success are gathered! The first brewed beer is already served in some restaurants and available in some wine merchants: Loiseau des Vignes, Le Cep Hotel, restaurant Le Sushikai… As the Romans said, Deus vobiscum!

Aurélien Jarmuszewicz's micro-brewery has set up its stainless steel tanks in a winegrower's house. The history of this old vat house makes all its charm, the quality of the beers made in Burgundy certainly makes the rest. In the catalog, you will find 6 subtle foams and one seasonal one, made in a sustainable way, and a few appetizers to accompany them, such as the 100% Côte-d'Or crackers. Why does it have this surprising name? Ask Aurélien!
