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.

30/VIII/24 - 50cl can from the local Carrefour supermarket, shared @ holiday in France, BB: IV/2025, L418005601853 (2024-828)

Clear light orange beer, small creamy yellowish head, unstable, falls down quickly, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice, a bit fruity, some citrus, tropical fruits, pretty floral, a bit of a soapy impression. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: soapy, floral, a bit herbal, pretty sweet, a little sugary, floral, more soapy, bleh. Aftertaste: just very soapy, messy, banana, yeasty, way too sweet and not bitter at all. By no means is this an IPA, let alone a West Coast IPA, it’s an abomination of a beer. Pretty bad and super disappointing.

Can from Monoprix, Perigueux, after a day out in the city. Golden with a head. Not feeling its strength, it has a softer lightly carbonated hoppiness with some dryness. Appealing without being outstanding.
