Craft breweries and microbreweries Picardy

An interesting visit for lovers of good beers. Let us get back to the ground, crafts, barley, and leave for a moment the industrial and austere era. In the heart of the Deux-Caps site, the Noyon couple perpetuates, since 2003, the tradition and introduces you to the production of beer, from barley cultivation to bottling. Next to them, you will visit the estate then enjoy some pearls of the house: The 2 Caps, Blanche de Wissant, Noire de Slack and valuable Belle Dalle, brewed exclusively with maritime barley. The sale of the products is done on site but also on line. For tasting and end of the year gifts, the address is friendly and original.

The Ambiani craft brewery is a great success! The colorful labels pay homage to Jules Verne, the cathedral and the hortillonnages. The brewery offers five beers: an American blonde ale, a white, an amber, a brown and an IPA, available for sale online at very reasonable prices for such quality! To complete the experience, there's also a taproom where you can sample the beers brewed on site in a warm, family atmosphere. Regular events ensure a festive atmosphere!

A historic beer cellar now run by Amaury d'Herbigny, Cave Célestin offers over 400 exclusively craft beers, both French and international. At the same time, Amaury d'Herbigny presents his own recipes in his own brewery. His Wal, Dix and Hoppy Yuzu (an IPA beer with a hint of Tibetan Yuzu) are a big hit! What do these delicious beverages have in common? They're all made from natural ingredients, giving them a unique taste. Come and discover them for yourself!

François Marié relaunches the production, more than 130 years after the last written traces of the family brewery. The company then underwent the vicissitudes of history and finally disappeared in 1880. The agricultural activity continued, despite everything. Today, the brewery has regained all its rights, with a remarkable involvement of François and his wife. They even produce the barley and the hops for some beers called "farmhouse beers"! It is also possible to take part in amateur brewing courses of artisanal beers.

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.

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!

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!

Between the canals and not far from the North Sea, next to the homonymous theater, there is a new microbrewery, whose beers are already (literally) winning laurels at international competitions, and the new emblem of Dunkirk's legendary creativity: the Brasserie des 4 écluses! Here you can visit with Eric François, brewer and master of the place. The passion and love of a job well done transpire from every pore of his skin and the visit ends with the inevitable tasting... in moderation!

As Les Singes Savants grow and embellish each year, they now offer a number of deliciously surprising blends, brewed using an ingenious digital system of their own design!

Come and taste these beverages in their tasting bar, take part in their brewing workshops, or learn how to brew alongside them in their brewlab! And if you decide to start your own production, they'll even supply you with all the organic and local raw materials you need. A dream come true!

The Waale microbrewery was born of the conversion of Andrzej Burzynski, a former IT specialist who dreamed of creating his own beer, with the support of his family and friends. The result is a magnificent production, whose star recipe is a light, slightly carbonated triple amber called Waale (a reference to Wasquehal, the ale and the "Whale" whale in the logo). Its little sisters (Waale blonde and IPA, Squaal blonde and triple) as well as more ephemeral ranges complete the global offer perfectly adapted to the different seasons of this craft brewery.

The inhabitants of Cassel are not a little proud! Since 2016, they finally have their local beer. And this amber nectar honors its birthplace since it bears the name of Bière du Reuze, the name of the famous giant of the city of course! At the origin of this beautiful project is Anthony Debailleul, a young passionate brewer. But what is this beer from Cassel like? It is blond, slightly sweet, and based on barley, malt and hops from Flanders that the brewer has carefully selected. And to find out more, don't hesitate to pay a visit.

Sébastien Verbeke and Alexis Cardot, founders of the cooperative brewery HUB (Hoppy Urban Brew), opened their premises on February 8, 2020. A nice consecration for these passionate people, willing to produce differently, respecting people and the environment. Until then, they brewed in a mobile way, but this did not prevent them from producing amazing recipes, the most famous of which is of course the Transition, a sustainable lager, rewarded in 2021 by a silver medal at the France Bière Challenge. A consecration!

Anchored in the regional tradition since 1895, the Brasserie la Choulette is one of the oldest breweries in the region, with the Dhaussy family at its head since 1977. They started brewing beer at the end of the 19th century with a steam brewery. Several members of the family succeeded one another until its closure in 1951. It wasn't until 1977 that Alphonse and Alain relaunched the crazy bet of making top fermentation beers for laying down. Today, the influence of the brewery goes beyond the borders. You will tell us about it!

It was a crazy challenge that the heirs of the Motte-Cordonnier family set themselves, but after tasting their "René", we can say that it was met with flying colors! What are we talking about? Beer of course! Here, we have been brewers since 1752 and, since 2018, 15 members of the family have joined forces to relaunch the activity and perpetuate this tradition of local and artisanal brewing. Their first-born is the "René", a tasty and light blonde. A successful challenge!

This microbrewery now occupies a former spinning mill. With the "Héritage Bière" label awarded to craft breweries, the place is open from Thursday to Saturday. Here you can discover the secrets behind the brewery's successful ranges: La Grange and Mr Houblon... After your visit, head to the bar to enjoy a cold beer with a board or burger. And don't forget that the brewery also offers beer taps for hire, so you can enjoy the flavours of their draught beers right in your own home!

Ze Zoet is the story of Antoine and Émilien, two childhood friends from the Lille metropolis, who meet around a common passion: beer. At the end of 2019, they create Ze Zoet, a craft and local beer, which they brew at the Hardy microbrewery, located in Quesnoy-sur-Deûle. Today, three beers are available: Ze Zoet blonde, Ze Zoet rosé and Ze Zoet IPA. It is possible to order the beer by sending a message on their Instagram account and have it delivered in the Lille Metropolis.

Antoine Gobrecht takes pleasure in delighting beer lovers at his craft brewery. Eager to share the secrets of his hoppy beverages, he warmly presents his 2 tasty ranges. His Premium 104 range includes a powerful triple, an IPA and a pale ale. His LIL range includes (among others) a light, refreshing lager, as well as a non-alcoholic version that won the France Bière Challenge for the third year running! An exceptional production that he improves with each new brew.

As its name indicates, here we brew beer made in Roubaix! Within the collective, there are two excellent microbreweries: the Brasserie du Pinthus and the Malt à Propos breweries. Objective: share experiences... and brews! Of course, each brewery continues to produce its own beverage, but together they have invented powerful and tasty nectars with sometimes very surprising aromas. Rigorous selection of ingredients, respect for traditional know-how, poetry in the making...: that's what Brewbaix beer is all about!

Welcome to Cambier, urban brewery of craft beers. Its creator, Jean-Christophe Cambier, an agricultural engineer by training, has a passion for the brewing tradition and a love of contact with the public. This is why he organizes numerous tasting sessions accompanied by visits to the production facilities. It is here that he produces Mongy, named after the founder of the Lille tramway! Mongy is available in a variety of flavours, from lager to IPA. The Cambier range offers limited edition beers.

The legendary PVL beer from Jean-François and Alexis Walraeve, father and son enthusiasts at the helm of the Brasserie du Pavé, winner of several gold and silver medals, needs no introduction.

All their handcrafted beers (blondes, ambers, IPAs...) will delight you with their surprising tastes derived from 100% local raw materials (malt from Moulins Waast, Leroux chicory...).

At the same time, you can discover the facilities of their famous brewery during a guided tour followed by a convivial tasting, and even rent a beer tapping machine!
