Description
Brasserie Lepers is the result of more than 100 years of experience shared over 6 generations. The tradition has been perpetuated by, on the one hand, the Maille family - Brasserie Maille (since 1905) which then became the Brasserie d'Annœullin, and on the other, by the Lepers - Brasserie Lepers Frères family (from 1880 to 1960 ). These are the ancestors of Charles Lepers, current director of the Lepers Brewery now at La Chapelle d´Armentières, where the copper boilers have been moved from the old family estate of Annoeullin to preserve the art of brewing in the old style.

Note: Previously Brasserie Lepers. In 2012 moved from Annoeullin to 199bis Rue Marle La Chapelle-d'Armentières. Acquired by 3F in 2020, moved to the former Gayant premises in Douai, some production done by 3F in Belgium.

Bottle at ChrisO Snow Tasting, thanks to Ian. It pours golden yellow with a tiny white head. The nose is quite clean... grass, soft fruit, pear, melon and subtle herbal accents. The taste is initially relatively sweet, then dough, pear, melon, herbal, spice, metal and some bitterness with a dry, lightly spicy finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Ok, but definitely not my thing.
