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.

Bottle at La Fine Mousse, Paris
Hazy amber color; medium sized compact head. Very nice American hop aroma, and sweet malt. Good body strength, but almost not sweet; still the caramel and hop flavor is good.
A different take.

Bottle from Cave à Bulles. Pours dark hazy amber. Aroma is lightly oxidized hop, but there’s a fair amount of hop here. Med body. Flavor is medicinally hoppy. There’s a sweet undertone, but it persists in coming across as dry and mildly astringent. I’d never have thought a wheat ale could have this much flavor.

bottle from Village de la Bière Strasbourg. Hazy brown colour, mid-sized beige head. Aroma of currant, dark berries, blackcurrant... Some quince at the beginning, dark berries disappear and make way for a nice caramel character. Spicy hops add a pleasant bitter and resiny punch. Smooth palate. All in all a very convincing beer.

bottle from Village de la Bière Strasbourg. Cloudy orange-brownish golden colour, large off-white head. Rather shy malty base with a good amount of bitter and citrusy hops. Rather thin malt flavours, but lovely hops though.
