Description
After several years spent in the production of wines in various regions of France and the world, and a few beers made as an amateur in the family kitchen, during winemaking in 2006 in the United States Emmanuel Rey discovered the extent of the micro brewery phenomenon. in this country.

We are in December 2006. Everything is quickly linked: an internship at the Brasserie Sancerroise in July 2007 to discover “real size” brewing, a training course at the IFBM in Nancy and numerous tests in the family kitchen to highlight point the recipes. At the same time, the search for the place of installation was carried out with the help of the Regional Natural Park of the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse and a place was quickly found near the town of Bonnelles. The project is finally launched!

7.4/10
Very bubblegum-like. Fully body, sweetish but boozy and warm. Nothing off, just not quite dry enough. La fine mousse
