Description
Guillaume Roy and Jacques Ferté relaunched Gallia at the end of 2009, in agreement with one of the brand's descendants. Simon Hicher, the first brewer of the Gallia renaissance joined the company to reinvent the Parisian brewing heritage with the 2 founders. In 2019, the company has more than fifteen employees, young, dynamic and motivated to defend the good taste of French craft beer!

In 2019 Heineken acquired a minority share in Gallia. In 2021 Gallia became 100% owned by Heineken.

In March 2021, we opened a second 6000 m² brewery in Sucy-en-Brie (Val de Marne), a few kilometers from the Pantin brewery. Initiated in 2019, the construction of this new brewery met the objective of increasing our production capacities. The Sucy brewery allows us to multiply our capacity by 5 to meet the growing demand for our beers.

Some history: In 1890, J.J. Wohlhüter, originally from Alsace, created the brewery La Nouvelle Gallia and developed its activity to the point where, in 1896, it became the largest brewery in Paris. Thirty years later, in 1932, the brewery produced 150,000 hl per year. During the 1940s and 1950s production continued but declined. At the beginning of the 1960s, threatened by competition, the production of Gallia beer was gradually abandoned and the brewery was destroyed in 1968.

first time that I drink a rye beer in France, not so fruity, comparing with the German school. This one is grainy, rye, malt, unbalanced, a bit rough, watery at the final, classical bitterness, some yeast, metalic, so-so 03.05.24, at my hotel room Paris after a nice and stormy walk.
