Description
We created our micro-brewery in May 2016. A stroke of love prompted us to install our vats in Mancy, a small village located south of Epernay. After several years spent in the magnificent hamlet of Alencourt and a production reaching nearly 300 HL in 2019, we had to think bigger!

At the end of 2019, after extensive research, we acquired a building located in the heart of Epernay. The capital of champagne now has its own craft brewery!

On approximately 900 m2, an old Champagne past blends with an industrial spirit. Numerous concrete vats bear witness to the succession of winegrowers who worked in these walls. A magnificent 300 m2 cellar is used to store our finished beers in a naturally temperature-controlled space.

Our beers are brewed in the traditional way, in single stage infusion. They are neither filtered nor pasteurized. The lees (yeast deposit at the bottom of the bottle) comes from the refermentation in the bottle.

0.33l bottle at Base Camp. Hazy deep golden body, off-white head. Resinous aroma, bit malty, fir in evidence, especially in the taste, which is a copy-paste of the aroma almost, sweetish but drinkable. Tasty stuff!
