Grand Est,
France 🇫🇷
Owned by
TCB Beverages
Established in 1897
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.

50cl can from Cora in Toul, France. F: medium, white, long lasting. C: gold, clear. A: malty, herbal, straw, bit caramel. T: medium malty base, light bready, hay, bit harsh bitterness, soft to medium carbonation, actually not such disaster for commercial beer, drinkable.

330ml can from Asda at a very cheap price of £2.57 for 4. Pours a pale gold with small white head which doesn't last long. Aroma of light malt and grain. A light malt and cereal flavour but quite nondescript. Not that sweet or bitter. Decent carbonation and smooth texture so not too watery for a pale lager. Very easy to drink. As far as pale lagers go this is good and has superior body compared to most commercial watery brands although I would like a little more flavour. Excellent value.

Bottle. Bready soft caramelly aroma. Grainy sweet caramelly flavor. Toffee. Buttery aftertaste.
