Description
The Champigneulles brewery was founded on June 20, 1897 by Antoine Trampitsch and Victor Hinzelin under the name of Grande brasserie de la Moselle de Champigneulles-Nancy. It became the Grande brasserie de Champigneulles-Nancy in 1910 then the Grandes brasseries et malteries de Champigneulles in 1912.
In 1966, it merged with the Brasseries de la Meuse and the Brasserie de Charmes to create the Société européenne de brasserie (S.E.B). Within this new group, which has 23 production sites in France for a production of 6 million hectoliters, Champigneulles has long been the most important site. The brewery remained a family establishment until 1970, when the S.E.B was taken over by the BSN group. In 1986, S.E.B merged with Kronenbourg, also acquired by the BSN group.
Danone (formerly BSN) sold Brasseries Kronenbourg to the Scottish group Scottish & Newcastle in 2000. In 2006, Brasseries Kronenbourg and Scottish & Newcastle sold the Champigneulles brewery to the German group TCB.

Pours a clear bright yellow with a decent head. Taste of hops, nothing more, nothing less, decent mouthfeel. Not bad for the price.

Can from a shop on Turbigo in Paris. Light yellow color with a white head. Smells grainy with a hint of citrus. Rather thin bodied with frothy carbonation. Flavor is inoffensive grain with minimal hop. Does taste like beer.
