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.

At a tasting, thanks Ariel, smallish creamy head, quite clear very dark brown colour, aroma of dark bread, some coffee and barnyard, dark chocolate and just a hint of roastiness, flavour of smoke, charred wood and some coffee, mellow quite strong bitterness. Good and really enjoyable.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Beer Market Jaffa. Thanks Ariel. Black with a big brown head. Nice roasty aroma with lots of coffee and a bit of dark chocolate. Bittersweet flavor, roasty, with coffee, roasted grains, a bit of dark chocolate and a finish with some bitterness. Rather full-bodied. Very nice.

Tap at Delirium Hoppy Loft. Dark brown with orange. Hoppy nose, grass, caramel. Simple but solid. Bitter, minerally flavor, grassy and earth. Not so special, but ok. Strong but a bit moring.

Bottle at Delirium Hoppy Loft. Dark brown, pretty orange tints, lacy. Nose of caramel, chocolate, grass. Flavor is citrus and minerals, chocolate and caramel. Nice, a hoppy brown ale more than IPA. Good malts, tasty hops.

33cl bottle (6.2%), thanks to sebletitje, pours with clear copper body that supports a tall off white head of foam. The mild aroma is resiny with pine hops as well as faint and nearly vague citrus hop notes and a just noticeable sweet maltiness in the background. The taste starts off with a mix of pine and grapefruit hop bitterness and modest hop flavor. It then heads into malt sweetened citrus hop flavor before the grapefruit and pine take over again with hop bitterness into the finish. Solid stuff that doesn’t try to do too much and gets it right. Nice IPA.

Bouteille 33cl, BB 12/2015. Cuivrée, col crémeux beige. Arôme est fruité houblonné, le tout restant assez neutre. Palais citronné agrumes suivi d’une pointe de fruits rouges qui reste en retrait. Note houblonné donne également un côté résineux - pin assez agréable avec un malté qui reste en balance. L’alcool se ressent. Reste ok, sans pour cela m’impressionner autant que d’autres bières de cette brasserie.

Small beige head. Hazy amber body with light carbonation. Minty tropical fruit and blackberry aroma with herbal notes. Dry-sweet resiny tropical fruit taste with chalky gooseberry notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, chalky mouthfeel. Dry resiny gooseberry aftertaste with earthy chalky peppery notes. Nice, drinkable, could be cleaner. (0.33l bottle, Couleurs de Biere, Montpellier.)
