The Brasserie des Cimes was created 20 years ago by an Irish-American, Michael Sweeney, who, seeing the rise of microbreweries in the United States, had the idea to implement the same scheme in France. He came to Savoie for the quality of the water. Michael Sweeney initially partnered with the Routin company, which carried the brewery for several years. In 2014, the company became fully independent.
Since its first beer brewed in June 1999, it has continued to develop its product offering. And its growth, which has been steadily increasing for several years. We hope to be able to make further progress, says Cindy Durchon, Executive Director. The Aix-based craft beer SME sold 32,000 hectoliters in 2018 and is targeting 34,000 hectoliters for 2019.
