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.

330ml bottle from Super U, Dol de Bretagne. Pours a dirty brownish amber, small white head. Great idea to hop a tripel with Sorachi Ace but not detecting much sorachi unfortunately, instead I'm faced with a fudgey Tripel sweetness with light spice, lacks finesse but ok overall.
