Description
We are a craft beer brewery located in the Pays de Fayence in the Provence, Alps, Cote d'Azur region of France. Gekko Brewing Company was born from a love of good beer, family and friendship. ​

The Gekko adventure began in 2018 by brewing small batches in a garden shed (covered in geckos!) and in 2020 we moved in to our new premises ready for a full on launch into the world of brewing.

The Gekko team of five is made up of a group of family and friends (Scottish and Polish) with each member bringing their own passion and expertise to the team.​

We try to reflect our region's natural beauty through our beers by using the highest quality base ingredients to produce a range of modern and traditional craft beers.

At Gekko we believe that there is a beer for everyone. Our beers range from fresh, light and hoppy pales ales, through characterful and bold IPAs, to Stouts and beyond. ​

Our mission is to educate about the wonders of craft beer to the uninitiated whilst also satisfying the demands of the ardent craft beer geek for beautifully crafted hop juice! ​

We love doing tastings and brewery visits with the community showcasing the wide range of flavours and aromas developed by our brewmasters. So come say hi and have a Gekko!

Tap at Ammutsøn with Božo & Nikolina (huge thanks to them!). Pitch black body, off-white head. Tart, simplistic sour cherry aroma. Creamy taste, lovely base body, chocolate, milk chocolate to be exact, light cherries. Not perfect but by all means pleasant - and a pretty cool catch!
