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.

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.
