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 home, 5th July 14. Pours black, some chocolate on the nose, very thin palate for the ABV. Well hidden alcohol, easy drinking and thin in the mouth, not my favoured impy, but very drinkable

bottle from Village de la Bière Strasbourg. Amber colour, off-white head and a lovely hoppy nose. Full-bodied, solid malty base with the right richness to support all the aromatic and bitter hops. Hints of citrus fruit and tropical fruit, also some gooseberry. Good one!

On tap at La Fine Mousse, pours a hazy ruby red / amber with a medium beige head. Nose is very fruity, bringing out resinous hops, syrupy caramel malts, and some stone fruits. Flavour is very similar, on the maltier side for a double IPA, bringing out syrupy caramel malt, resinous hops, dried dark fruits, and some alcohol. Residual sugar content is fairly high and the malt base is too syrupy and prominent. Decent, but haphazard double IPA.

Thanks. 33 cl. bottle sampled @ ZBF 2014. Hazy milky orange, small white head. Nose is strange & chemical, tart, sweet white yeast, perfume and some flowers that I find off-putting. Taste is chemicals and same flowers, bitter hay, white pepper, strange spices. Fizzy bodied. Not my thing.
