The best beer bars Les volcans d'Auvergne

The thirst for meetings as much as the thirst for beer converge towards this atypical bar. It's hard not to get in touch with others. This is the aim of Au fût et à mesure. Here, you can bring a magnetic card. You feed it with euros and there is nothing left to do but to help yourself to the different taps in the room. You test, you taste, you discover... and as the card is debited by the centiliter, it is up to you to choose between a sip or a pint of your favorite beer. Each table has a different beer. Cocktails and wines are also served at the counter with Olivier, the super boss of the place. Accompany your drinks with a cheese or charcuterie board.

At the Délirium, you can find a place (or not) and wait while tasting... a beer. It's a temple of diversity with more than 250 shades of brown, blonde and white beers from all over the world and with sometimes surprising tastes, including 26 beers on draught. The Belgian beers are particularly highlighted and can be drunk around one of the barrels on the ground floor, on the terrace, in front of a game upstairs and accompanied by a burger or poutine (a Quebec dish made of cheese fries and brown sauce) or a plate of cheese or charcuterie.

When the Empire du Malt opens a bar, it gives Le Brew. It is in a hangar in the Brézet area that Dominique Thomas has installed this establishment. A bar, but not only: the place has a store and a parking lot. You can discover the Californian flavors of Justin Lott's beers: his microbrewery Grizzly has taken up residence here. The brewery can be visited. Other drafts and a wide selection of bottled beers complete the menu. At cocktail hour, charcuterie and cheese are served as well as pizzas and poutines.

Craft beer, rock, hard rock, heavy metal, this is the winning formula proposed by Hops'n'roll. The selection of beers offered on draught is wide enough to satisfy the finest palates, amateurs and novices alike. Some beers are even brewed on site, you will find them under the name of the microbrewery Midnight Brewing. Behind this address, which immediately found its public, we find Marc and Aziade. Do they ring a bell? You probably met them at the old Beerland where they used to work. On sunny days, we like to sit on the terrace and enjoy a good beer with a view on the emblematic cathedral.

The Long John Silver has given way to the Grizzly Tap House. If the managers and the decoration have changed, the beer remains the star of the place. Clément Regnauld and Quentin Guillaume-Petit, who used to work at the Délirium Café, have opted for the Clermont-Ferrand brewery Grizzly. 14 beers are served on draught, most of them Grizzly. Cans complete the proposal. You don't know anything about beer? Looking for a particular one? Don't worry, the team will inform you and advise you. To complete the evening, boards are proposed. Concerts are also programmed. The atmosphere is nice, relaxed and friendly, everything is gathered to spend a good moment.

More than a pub, Potinga is also a brewery, which Arnaud Roblet is happy to show you around. It is with Raphaël Paillé of the Cocotte maltée, that he set up this place. What makes Potinga beers special? They contain plants. On the menu, 7 beers are served on draught. Every month, a contest is organized to reward the beer of an amateur brewer. The prize is the brewing of the recipe and its presentation on the menu. "I would have liked to have had this, so I did," says Arnaud Roblet. Why Potinga? In ancient Auvergne this word would mean remedy..

You dreamed of a place where beer is brewed and ready to be tasted, where you can have lunch or share tapas during the aperitif and where you can buy beers from all over the world? Bertrand Guillaume has created it for you! The Brasserie Clermont is first of all a brew pub. The beer of the brewery is proposed to the pressure, with others. If they are to be tasted on the spot, they can also be served by the bottle and taken away. In the cellar, there are more than 300 references on the shelves, just waiting to be discovered. At lunchtime, the brasserie offers daily specials, sandwiches, salads... Beer lovers have found their HQ!
