Description
Popihn was founded in 2017 by Arnaud Popihn in the French Vaumort region. Supported by head brewer Gunther Oltra, Popihn quickly became the most hyped brewery in France.
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!

Bottle at LKS. It pours hazy deep brown with a small light tan head. The aroma is earthy, toasty, charred, burnt cake, rocky road, dirt, vanilla, medicinal, spice and burnt wood. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, tar, burnt wood, dirty pine, earthy roast, cocoa, dark fruits, cocoa and burnt liquorice with a drying finish. Medium - full body and fine carbonation. Punchy stuff.

Bottle shared in London - sourced via Beergium. Pours black-brown with a frothy, beige head. Torched pine in the snout, baking cocoa, some scorched earth, ash. Light sweet flavour, pretty dry, some tobacco, more ashy roast, bittersweet cocoa. Light bodied with active, massaging carbonation. Dry finish, more ash, burnt marshmallows, bitter cocoa. Some pithy grapefruit. Good stuff overall.

Bottle split at Bodney Mansions, thanks to LKS, 18/01/18. Light black with a well presented beige head. Nose is cocoa powder, charr, spice, toffee, light pine, earthy hop. Taste comprises brown bread, toffee, light black peppery spice, charr, cocoa rub, dried red berries. Medium bodied, spritzy/prickly carbonation, drying close. Ok CDA but overcarbed which lets this one down for me.
