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 33 cl bue au beerchope à Lille un soir de vacances. Rune caramel à carbonatation quasiment inexistante. Nez sur le fruit mûr et le bourbon. En bouche, les arômes de bourbon, de noisette, de cacahuète, de figue, carbonatation faible. Un vrai délice !

Bière 75 cl ramenée de chez Market boissons à Wattignies. Robe noire profond, fine mousse beige crémeuse persistante. Nez rôti, torréfié. En bouche, notes de chocolat, cacao, vanille, malt grillé, caramel, finale sèche avec une jolie amertume. Une très belle bière comme on est habitués à en découvrir chez Célestins!

Bière 33 cl bue à l'illustration à Lille. Blonde dorée. Au nez, une odeur étrange que je ne saurais pas définir, peut-être due au poivre? Ca sent comme chez le coiffeur....En bouche, poivre et coriandre, note fumée, ensemble assez sucré. Un goût étrange par-dessus tout ça, qui le fait penser à du linge mouillé resté trop longtemps dans la machine... Pas ma tasse de thé mais reste buvable.

0,33l bottle at home from a trade. BB 04/2023. almost black color, medium big coffee colored head. smells leathery, heavy peat, bit nutty. ok smell, too much peat. full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of peat, leathery, cereal, some sweetness, earthy, spices. finishes lightly sweet with notes of peat, earthy and notes of spices. pretty decent one, smell is quite heavy on the peat, beer is quite drinkable though because of the sweetness on the taste. not totally my kind of thing but still rather drinkable.

Bière 33 cl bue au Beerchope à Lille en 2018 et rebue en 2023 en bouteille à la maison.. Jolie robe dorée qui vire à l'ambrée. Attaque franche avec belle amertume et une pointe d'acidité puis s'adoucit vite et on sent alors le côté cognac, sans être trop lourd ni trop sucré. Notes florales et épicées. Une bière qui réussit à évoquer le cognac tout en restant legere. Une bière très sympa à découvrir !
