In the summer of 1996, in the land of Roche aux Fées (in Ille-et-Vilaine), the Sainte Colombe brewery was born, by the will of two beer enthusiasts: Gonny Everts-Keizer & Henri Everts. At a place called "La Landelle" in Sainte-Colombe with Gonny KEIZER as the first female master brewer in France, since the revival of craft breweries. The installation is 400 liters / brew.

In 2002 a brewing installation of 1000 liters was installed. In 2006 the hiring of our first brewer: Pierrick CLAVIER from "Ty Bierzh" took place. A symbolic step was the 1000th brew in 2008.

In January 2020 the Construction of the new brewery in Corps-Nuds started and in 2021 the brewery moves to new buildings built in Corps-Nuds with a new brewing unit on 850 m2 in the artisanal zone of Grands Sillons near Rennes.

0,33 bottle. Dark cloudy brow/orange with minimal head. Light smokey aroma. The flavour is kind of disappointing with too much vinegar tones and also barely tasted the smoke.Medium-light body.

(Keg at a random bar in Rennes, 20240609) The beer poured golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, floralness and Belgian style yeast. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, Belgian style yeast, flour, honey and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity and bitter. Bit thin. Decent.
