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.

Bottle @ home. Hazy murky orangy color, full sized bubbly white head. Floral aroma. Flavor is malts, somewhat fruity, like ripe peaches mixed with tangerines. Ok beer, but not good as a DIPA imo.
