LA BESTIOLE
Read moreWhat's the link between a bug and a brewery? A passion: for animals and for the art of brewing beer. Passionate, the owner and brewer knows her stuff. You can enjoy a fruity beer of between 3 and 8% alcohol in the tape room (bar area), with a direct view of the vats. You can also take away some pretty labeled cans (with animals on them, of course). And if you want to know everything there is to know about the beer-making process, we recommend a visit, which of course ends with a tasting.

From time to time, the evenings come alive with a concert or a tasting workshop. The place has its regulars, so don't forget to make a reservation to eat there.
BRASSERIE DE LA PIGEONNELLE
Read moreIn May 2003, Ludovic and Stéphane Hardouin created this microbrewery. Today, they produce beers typically from Tours: La Loirette, La Salamandre and many others. Pure malt beers, neither filtered nor pasteurized. This is why a slight deposit can be observed at the bottom of the bottle. We knew Touraine and its wines. From now on, we will have to count on its beers! It is a pity that the installations of this brewery are not open to the visit.
