LA BELLE MOUSSE

Like there are wine cellars, there are beer cellars... Installed since 2006 in Aix-en-Provence, here we distil the art of foam and its tasting... At the controls, a passionate: Patrick Jullien. Inexhaustible, erudite, generous, he reveals the secrets of the beautiful foam and offers you a selection of some 500 tasting beers, often rare, artisanal and of world origins: Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Italy (divine Nora!), Ireland, USA, Quebec or even Japan and Indonesia. Patrick Jullien tells you about La Rochefort, la Trappe, l'Achel... So many bottles excluded from mass distribution. Among the successes: Mère Supérieure, an aromatic and creamy beer for laying down, Exclusively: La Coquine de Mont de Marsan with strawberry and raspberry fruits. You'll tell me about new ladies! Among the microbreweries: that of Der and its organic beer (Dervoise, Chant du coq...), the Markus drômoise, the Agrivoise ardéchoise. All friends of the boss who likes to work in short circuit and with full knowledge of the facts. 2021, he makes us discover a bread beer produced from unsold bakery products, crushed and hardened, an eco-responsible approach! Clever: the house takes back your bottles in deposit. We recommend the Petite Vertus (redhead at 3.9°), the Black Mamba Aviator (fermented in Jack Daniels barrels), the Mistinguette (fruity blonde with a mint taste). You will also find collector's beers (Appolo old method from 1988). The plus: animations, tasting, discovery of food/beer combinations. And you will leave with amazing anecdotes such as the remarkable meeting with Michael Jackson "beer hunter" of his state, whose books are still a reference in the beer-drinking world!
