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.

Can shared with Sarah on holiday in Fuertaventra. A crystal clear golden coloured pour with a lasting frothy white head. Aroma is clean pale malts, hint of toast, touch of apple. Flavour is composed of semi sweet Base malts, low adjunct apple, nutty malts. Palate is semi sweet relatively clean, highish carbonation. Fine.

33cl can from Lidl, La Nucia. Pours clear golden with a minimal, white head. Grainy aroma with hints of alcohol, honey and herbs. Sweet and slightly alcoholic with grainy flavours and a lightly bitter finish. Slightly unpleasant and fits better down the drain.

Can: Poured a golden color lager with a small white bubbly head with limited retention. Aroma of corn, adjunct and sugars isn’t that enticing. Taste is mostly dominated by adjunct and residual sugar. Body is about average with OK carbonation. Bland adjunct lager with limited flavour profile.

50cl bottle from my local ASDA: poured into a Cobra badged tall straight sided pint sleeve at home on 5th Jan 2016. Clear, clean and bright body, light golden in colour: on top a full and deep snow white head, plenty of carbonation bubbles rising through the brew. Corn/grain aroma with a cereal lead in the taste too: some sweetness in the flavour. Not a good example of a ’Continental Lager’ if you ask me. Mild bitterness towards the end of each gulp (this is not a sipper). No problem with the appearance and head retention, aroma and taste are the problems for me. I live sweeter beers normally, but this did not work for me.
