Description
Going back twenty years, he brothers Stephane and Ludovic Hardouin, both lovers of Belgian beers, live in the Paris region. For 6 years, they traded beers, and developed an address book with restaurateurs, wine merchants and winegrowers. In 2002 they decided to strengthen their activity. No more reselling and making their own beer at home. They got started by setting up their brewery in Céré la Ronde in 2003, near their family.

Today it is a growing business of 4 people. Each year production is increasing (+ 10% / year on average) and the maximum production capacity has not yet been reached.

The beers created by the brewery are 100% pure malt (barley and malted wheat). They are unfiltered, unpasteurized and refermented in the bottle. Among the brewery's projects, growing their own hops. Since 2019, it has been home to the first hop plants. The idea is to supplement the hop purchases and why not, to make a beer from this house culture.

Hazy blond color. Dry Blond Ale, a bit peppery, with a vegetable trace in the flavor. Quite high bitterness. Uninteresting.

Hazy blond color; too much head. The aroma has a paper touch. It has a dryish mouthfeel, with no malt flavor, but a strong vegetable taste, getting worse towards the end. Maybe a bad choice of yeast over a common beer. Bad.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin lazing white head. The aroma is sweet fruity and malty combined with notes of yeast and spices. The flavor is swet fruity and malty with a spicy touch - especially cloves. The body is thin.
