Description
The Brasserie OC’ALE was born in 1998, in Lafrançaise, in Tarn-et-Garonne. Founded by Jackie Courmont, it has gone through the years to enrich itself with new beers over time.

Grégory Robert, an engineer by training, converted to the brewing profession in 2011. After being trained for 6 years by his predecessor, he took over the brewery in 2018.

Grégory made his project a reality. He wanted to both work in continuity, but also to bring new ideas by developing in particular a new range of beers in 33cl. He has equipped himself with new machines that allow him to cap the bottles.

Since 2019 the brewery is in Bressols where he continues to perpetuate this culinary heritage of Tarn-et-Garonne, while adapting certain original recipes to consumer demands. He wants to develop the range soon with new products...

hazy golden color. Funky, earthy, nose with hints of leather. Cobwebs, very funky nose. Melons and fruit. Lots of funk, with caramel, cobwebs, hay, very dry, good carbonation, but a lot of things going on I can’t explain. Still, well balanced and idiosyncratic. Peppery and musty. Dry finish.

Bottle from La Cave a Bulles. BB Sep 2010. Pours a dark brown with a fizzy tan head. Aroma is spritely cola. Perhaps with a touch of prune. Near medium body with strongish carbonation. Perhaps a hint of citrus or sour malt. Finishes smooth and lightly tart.

Bottled. Cloudy pale yellow, rich airy head. Lactic citric nose. Dryish and tart, spritzy and light like a Berliner Weisse. Fresh and vital with notes of winegum and grass. Mild vanilla malt and long citric finish. Very refreshing - I love this brewery!
