About
Former carpenter, Xavier Clerget and his partner Baptistine Fambon developed a passion for beer in the bars of the Rhône valley, but it was in their village of Saint-Agrève that they created their brewery in 2008, installing it in an old sawmill.

On this plateau, 1000 meters above sea level, the climate is harsh in winter, but, despite its isolation, the brewery quickly became known in Ardèche and elsewhere for the quality of its beers. The hoppy bitterness is privileged here - the brewery was one of the creators of the Front Hexagonal de Libiération - always with a beautiful aromatic power.

And their names, often borrowed from a cheerful humor (Commun’ale, Vue sur l'Amer, L’Asociale, Sous les Pavés among others), also refer to social and labor movements like the Paris Commune.

Hazy light amber color with medium sized compact head. Anonymous aroma, some cabbage and rice. No specific flavor, no specific hop. Boring.

Bottle at home in London. Pours clear, bright copper with a medium, frothy white head. Nose holds some light spice, toasty malts, some grains. Light to medium sweet flavor, bit of dry caramel in there, some dark grapefruit, orange. Medium bodied with fine to average, creamy carbonation. Moderately sweet finish, some lightly resinous, toasty pine, mild dry caramel, very mild tangy fruits, a bit of toasted, whole grain bread. Quite a nice beer, certainly interesting. Drinks well below its ABV - impressively so. Good stuff.

Bottle from La Cave à Bulles, Paris, bb 30/03/2014
Hazy light amber color, small creamy head. Light aroma of malt, paper, lentils, spices. Light body, with very simple flavor, very light malt and some paper; low bitterness.
Summer beers are expected to be light, but not necessarily flavorless.

Hazy amber color with medium sized creamy head. Mediocre aroma of malt and cereals. Round mouthfeel; some caramel flavor, with small residual sweetness and light cereals touch; very light sweet liquorice shade in the end; it has ordinary bitterness.
Easy beer.
