Arnaud renovated an old barn and installed brewing tanks: the brand and the workshop were born! He immediately associated with a friend they met in Paris and they decide to embark on the adventure together by making artisanal French beers in the Sens region, in the countryside and with the barley grown by his parents.
It is in this natural break that we find the Popihn brewery workshop, with the very latest brewing equipment. They readily admit to being influenced and inspired by the breweries of the United States and England.
Very aromatic although a little bitter IPAs which give pride of place to exotic fruits (lemon, guava, mango, grapefruit!) And sour drinks that are not very developed in France! This is their hallmark: originality and innovation, but each time with the highest quality! Their daring paid off: they are now key players in these “niche” markets!

On tap at Liquiderie, pours a dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of sherry-like oxidation, toffee, brown sugar, and a touch of whiskey barrels. Flavour is much the same, with bready toffee, caramel, whiskey barrels, and a pleasant sherry-like oxidation. Real nice balance and complexity. Very good.

On tap at À La Bière Comme À La Bière, pours a hazy bright red with a small pink-tinged white head. Aroma is full of juicy dry raspberries, wheatiness, and a touch of tartness. Flavour is dry, fruity and wheaty, with plenty of tart raspberries, a dry wheaty body, and light lacto. Really competently put together. Excellent.
