Craft breweries and microbreweries Normandy

The Brasserie des Deux Amants has a name that invites you to taste the... It is taken from a Norman legend nearly a thousand years old, that of Raoul and Mathilde, whom Marie de France immortalized in a poem in 1160. Between the two lovers, love then, but to win the hand of the beautiful, poor Raoul must climb the famous hill that today bears the name of the Two Lovers. As for the brewery, it is a young craft business nestled in the loops of the Seine.

In his large workshop, our brewmaster Etienne has plenty of room to express his talent. More local, mostly organic ingredients, our Géo Trouvetou is gaining in maturity, listening to feedback and fine-tuning his beers! No need to introduce you to his creation and marvel, La Petite Biche. An unfiltered blond, it's the power and strength of wood in a bottle. Available in a range of more or less full-bodied recipes to suit all tastes: white, brown, IPA, year-round or ephemeral beverages, there's bound to be a doe to suit you!

Located right in the heart of the city, Le Bercail has brought a breath of originality and joy to Alençon evenings. A blend of wood, brick and metal, it produces its own beers (the most popular of which are called "l'Avant-Première" and "Planet of the Hops"). For an aperitif or an evening with friends, accompanied by pizzas or tapas, in a good atmosphere that vibrates to the sounds of concerts every week (with a predilection for jazz and rock sounds), the place is perfect!

With his unique style, Jérémy, intrepid hop captain, has created his own microbrewery. Passionate about his craft, Jérémy has traded in his insurance suit for the more authentic attire of a brewer. From blondes to IPAs, he boldly sails the waves of brewing flavors. But what makes his work so unique is his willingness to develop customized brews and collaborations with restaurants (Bière des Poutineurs with maple syrup). And for special occasions, he offers a mobile "bar-van" and beer taps for hire.

Brasserie de la Baie has quickly become a solid reference! For many years now, under the leadership of Christophe Lesénéchal, dozens of hectolitres have been produced. There's a brew for every taste: from dark to amber to blonde, the know-how and selection of the best products make these little marvels. Numerous retailers in Normandy and Brittany give you the opportunity to buy some in the region: really hard not to succumb.

Here's a craft brewery in the heart of Avranches. Specialising in organic brewing, it's the brainchild of Thomas Delenclos. Here, water is recycled and only the best products are used. The result is a range of beers to suit every taste and colour. To discover these beers "Made in Avranches", as the brand says, it's easy: you can find them during tastings at the partners' premises, or buy them at the various points of sale listed on the brewery's social networks.

Based on the principle that beer is a noble product in the same way as wine, the owners have built a castle for it... a little wooden castle for their organic microbrewery, so that they can brew and welcome their customers in the best possible conditions! Produced from organic cereals and several varieties of hops from England, Alsace, and the Czech Republic, Tortue and Dragon are available in blond, amber, and white. Want to start brewing your own beers? We offer training courses for amateurs and future brewers!

The Bière Brotonia microbrewery offers a selection of craft beers, from light lagers to full-bodied stouts, IPAs and white ales. The brewery also offers 20 l and 25 l keg rentals, as well as a two-spout beer dispenser.

Brasserie Normande SeptanteSix, located in Caudebec-lès-Elbeuf, specializes in craft beers. In addition to the classic Blanche, Blonde and Ambrée, the brewery also offers seasonal and event beers. Beer lovers can sample original creations such as the Coriandre double blanche, the Zest d'amour Blonde infused with caramelized orange peel, the Bourbon-aged Hurricane and the Calvados Drouin VSOP signature. The brewery organizes workshops to discover the beer-making process, guided tours followed by tastings, Food Pairing evenings to match food and beer, and expert brewing half-days where visitors can brew their own beer. Group tours are also available, with catering services available for associations and companies. The brewery has a boutique and offers customized services for professionals.
