I am Stephen Dunne, brewer of the Beer of Croix du Rat. I was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland. What kind of beer do I brew? It's an Irlando-Périgourdine beer! 😀

I set up the brewery in 2007 in Saint-Cyprien, after moving from my old brewery "La Spirale Magique" in Mauzens and Miremont on the road to Périgueux.

The "Croix du Rat" is the name of the place where I brew in Saint-Cyprien. It is an old name from the Middle Ages, from the time of the plague. I find it a bit devilish and unforgettable like my beer!

The brewery is located in a part of an old industrial carpentry on the road to Château de la Roque. There are several businesses gathered here and we have a great neighborhood vibe.
