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!
