Gourmet products Beer and brewery New Aquitaine

The Pub de la Brasserie Mira is one of those must-visit addresses for fun evenings on the Bassin. Mira, we already knew the name and even the beer of the brewery created by Jacques and Aurélien, two local children with a passion for hops. They conceived and created a first range of original beers, brewed with spring water from the Bassin and identified on the bottles by a chimera. Mira beers have never ceased to seduce connoisseurs, so it was only logical that the brewer-malters should follow through on their ambition by opening this pub.

The former Coulon dairy is home to the famous Tête de mule, a delicious craft beer that has won multiple awards in various competitions and trade shows.

Blonde, white, brown, since 2023 amber, IPA, triple, porter, pale ale, to each his own. Direct sales and tours of the brewery. In summer, stroll through the dairy's gourmet markets, which provide a musical and gourmet atmosphere!

Did you know? Fronsac also brews beer! It's all happening at the 3 Tertres artisanal and organic brewery. This brewery was founded in 2017 by Alain, a native of Ch'ti! In the old Belgian tradition, he brews 3 varieties of beer, but that's without taking into account seasonal ephemera (Christmas, etc.). We're there to buy a few bottles of this malted vintage (of course!), a visit or a tavern-style aperitif on Friday evenings from 5pm to 10pm.

For Alexandra and Laurent, who spent time in the United States discovering craft breweries, the passion for this beverage was so strong that they decided to set up their own brewery. Here, they'll explain the very special work involved in creating beers with astonishing flavours, from white to brown, from carefully selected products. All malts, cereals and spices are organic. They brew a dozen different beers and limited editions. Forget industrial beers!

The ambition and philosophy of our brewmasters is to place the ingredients at the heart of the creation process and to let their characteristics express themselves harmoniously. It is to bring more flavors and aromas to the beers. The Anglet brewery develops a wide range of craft beers, ephemeral, permanent and vintage, in cans and bottles. You can find them and taste them in the wine shops of the Basque Country and elsewhere, bars, hotels, restaurants... It is also a range of textiles that you can discover in the store and on the website.

As soon as you enter, the copper brewing vats stand out and announce the production site, from brewing to labeling, a site that can be discovered through guided tours.

Tiny and artisan brewery at 2 km from Aubeterre held for almost 25 years by Marie-Claire and Bruce Hocking who produce 3 000 bottles per year. In spite of this, it proposes a wide variety of beers: !, rousses and stout. Alba Terra, a white beer flavored with orange flower.

Since 2015, after being put up for sale, it is a local child, Maud Pressigout, who is taking over the business by performing a real professional pirouette. Formerly a childcare worker at the mother and child hospital in Limoges, she was accompanied by the master of beer. The artisanal approach is still at the heart of the production, the labels are still in French and Occitan, the bottles are sold at the farm and on the markets. But Maud also has her dreams: to develop the production and to propose recipes based on beer.

La Manuf is the story of a group of friends, their craft beer tasting club, and a dream: to create their own brewery. Their recipes are the fruit of a collective effervescence, while remaining true to their identity: beers with a strong hoppy character. At La Manuf, we like to innovate, and these activists of good foam have launched Le Labo. Every month, 3 new barrique brews make their debut, limited editions with surprising flavors. To discover them, visit the website or the bar/shop, with its view of the vats and summer terrace.

Did you know that the Montmorillon brewery dates back to 1843? It was located in Saulgé and its beer was the best-selling beer in Free France during the German occupation before closing in the 1960s. In 2015, it was the entrepreneur François Guillon who decided to give the Montmorillonnais their beer back by brewing on site. He has not managed to get his hands on the original recipe, but he hopes to give it back its letters of nobility. From now on, the brewery produces artisanal and organic beer, as well as lemonade and cola.

The island of Ré is a territory of great wealth. While crossing the viaduct, you will have all the leisure to admire delicious landscapes but also to taste quality products, such as the salt flower and the artisanal beers. In 1996, an Austrian master brewer created them, today the brewers offer authentic and quality products. Bières de Ré has been awarded in 2023 and keeps innovating, offering a wide range of beers, including organic beers without gluten and specials, Déferlante or Extra.

The world of beer has undergone a silent but delicious revolution in recent decades. In Pau, La Craft-Pyrénées emerged in 2022 and offers a menu focused on quality, taste and craftsmanship. The brewery likes to propose compositions with unusual ingredients, special yeasts, and unique brewing processes to create beers that are out of the ordinary. From hoppy stouts to exotic fruit beers, nothing is out of the ordinary! A selection that has won over the many palates of Palais beer lovers! To be enjoyed in the restaurant, on the terrace under the arcades of Place Gramont, or to take home.

Gilles and Etienne de Conti, two cousins from a family of Bergeracese winemakers, manufacture their organic beers in a small building which, as a decoration, has planted two feet of hops. After a lot of commotion around the world, they had the idea of creating their own beer in the wine country. The name Lapépie comes from a local expression: it means that we are thirsty… Brune, blonde or blonde beers are made from natural products: water, organic malt, hops, yeast and sugar. They are fresh with a very mild bitterness and easily marry with all the dishes.

Beer is on a roll in Charente-Maritime! Although this craft brewery was originally set up in Normandy, it moved into a former canning factory in 2019.
