Antoine Ney is a native of the small village of Bucey-lès-Gy (locals are referred to as Les Bucéens) in the department of Haute-Saône, located just above the Jura in the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Here, he brews his artisanal, small-batch ales in the space that served as his father’s former leatherworking shop for 40 years, just adjacent to his childhood home. The agricultural production of the area is dominated by barley and wheat, and Antoine works with a plethora of local products—including barley, hops, and fruit—in addition to grape marcs from neighboring (and occasionally further off) winemakers. His indigenous yeast-fermented ales, aged for a minimum of six months, are reflective of the unique terroir and farming of the region.
