Charles Doerr and Simon Chevillot are two childhood friends from Toulon, who after working on tours or music festivals in the region became beer lovers. The city of Toulon being devoid of its local beer, the two friends decided to offer a craft beer. After perfecting their techniques in brewing training schools in Douai and Nancy, during the summer of 2015 they launched their beer under the name of Bière de la Rade.

La Bière de la Rade is an independent micro-brewery, created in the heart of Toulon. Based on our past experiences, we have kept our adventurous mindset, we will continue to push the boundaries to constantly innovate. It is through beer that we have chosen to unite around a new way of consuming. Aware of the current challenges, Bière de la Rade brings people together without difference and with respect for the environment and organic farming.

We brew beers that we love, of the Anglo-Saxon type, by their flavors and their production methods, beers of character with a strong identity and generous hop dosages. Our initial range of three beers has now been expanded with two new recipes and we regularly brew ephemeral, seasonal and collaborative beers.
