About
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. The brewery was, however, closed in 2023, the production of the regular range moved to other Heineken France plants, with specials still being brewed in Pantin.

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.

Bottle at home. Pours near black with a thick beige head. Aroma of roast, dark chocolate, caramel, malt, light burnt notes and light licorice. Flavour is moderate sweet and over moderate bitter. Medium bodied with light carbonation. No surprises but a very decent basic stout.

Mi valoración se refiere a la versión de 2011 que se elaboraba en Nymburk. Dorada no muy clara y con dos dedos de espuma muy consistente que deja natilla. Aroma malteado con algo de mandarina. Baja carbonatacion y cuerpo medio. Por lo demás final amargo cercano a las pilsen y bastante bebible. En general la veo más cerca del estilo pilsen.

330 ml bottle from a French deli store in Vienna.
Black body, with a big, dense, creamy, lacing, beige head.
Aroma of coffee, smoke, ash, dark chocolate, dark fruits.
Tastes of ash, coffee, dark chocolate, cocoa, some liquorice, dark fruits.
Quite full, creamy mouthfeel, with a soft carbonation.
Finishes roasty, quite dry, with ash, coffee, some cocoa.

Very nice. Fully armomatic, but also quite easy to drink, with the alcohol completely hidden. I like the ash notes a lot. Really satisfying, solid Stout.

Bottle from The France Show at Olympia. Hazy dark amber colour lasting beige head. Grapefruit aroma. Some sweetish malts. Mostly grapefruit flavour, a little mandarin apparently. OK American Pale Ale, not an IPA. Decent hops throughout good bitter finish. Good APA. A little sweetness but mostly fruity and above average bitterness. Decent.

330 ml. bottle sampled @ “Exclusive S&G Tasting: Special guest 77ships”. Thanks to PriorL. Hazy orange, tad darker, little white head. Nose is orange, herbal & medicinal hops, grass. Taste is same intriguing mix of medicinal, orange & herbal, light hay & malt. Light bodied. Quite interesting, solid enough brew.
