Description
Originally from Sainte-Croix en Plain, the Alsatian Sainte Crucienne brewery first saw the light of day in 2007 during a boozy evening, thanks to a band of idealistic friends eager to create different and very hoppy beers. At the start of their adventure, they started by brewing 20 liters of beers, then 100, then 600. It was not until 2013 that the brewery officially started in its premises in Colmar, in just three years the volume of production has doubled to reach 3000 hl today.

They share this success with a whole community of independent brewers who are part of the Front Hexagonal de Libièration, with whom they continue to work. The goal is to multiply collaborations and unique brews to create an ever more original beer in taste and participate in the revolution of the world of craft beers.

Bottle shared at kermis' chop suey extravaganza. Courtesy of Maakun, thanks! Black with light tan head. Big sweet roasted chocolate malts and hazlenut cream, moccha cherry pie. Big sweet and mild bitterness, light tartness. Full body, velvety creamy feel, soft carbonation. Pretty nice!

The great pre GBBF bottleshare at ChrisO’s. Opaque dark brown beer, good pale tan head. Palate is airy and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth but dry dark malts, quite some tang and bitterness. Little dark chocolate and dark fruits. Dry finish. A bit rough edged but fine.
