Description
A passion that defies time! Let’s go back through history: it was in 1740, in Haubourdin, that my ancestor Célestin Cordonnier created his brewery. A passion that defies time! Let’s go back through history: it was in 1740, in Haubourdin, that my ancestor Célestin Cordonnier created his brewery.

Eight generations of brewers follow one another faithfully, each bringing their own touch of know-how and excellence. After 60 years of interruption, I take up the family torch with pride, and pay tribute to my grandfather and his intuition: the CÉLESTIN micro-brewery was born in 2014 in Old Lille.

Linked to almost 300 years of family brewing history, the Célestin brewery is known to be one of the region’s first micro-breweries to set up in an urban setting. It is in the heart of Old Lille that Amaury, descendant of a family of brewers, sets up his micro-brewery and a beer cellar.
Due to the success of the brewery, a second production site was opened in 2017 just outside the center of Lille.

Bière reçue à Noël et bue le jour même. Avec ses notes boisées prononcées rappelant le vin rouge et le porto, cette bière révèle une palette de saveurs riche et équilibrée. Belle harmonie, des arômes intenses tout en évitant tout excès de sucre.

Dark gold to copper in colour. Lasting fluffy head. A solid 'good old' IPA with prominent citrus and pine. A touch of caramel malt sweetness in the finish.

Golden colour with lasting lacy head. It's a basic but solid blond. Quite plain and simple. Really dry finish.

Kinda disappointing. Was expecting more fruit & acidity.

Bière pression bue au Berthom a Lille. Fraîche, sympa, mais pas assez sur le côté fruité et herbacé du houblon a mon goût.
