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!

Can produced in France, bought in Sterk, Amsterdam and consumed at home in U.K., 23rd February 23. Pours a off clear orange, big white head. Aroma is citrus, some pine. Taste is fairly simple, pine and muted citrus, light floral, and a reasonable dose of bitterness in the finish. Quite enjoyable and nice to have a change from the hazies

44cl can @ Les Escoles, BB 30/08/2023. Intéressant de trouver cette brasserie française dans un petit bar social de la Catalogne !
Dorée, col épais crémeux blanc bien mousseux mais s'estompant rapidement.
Arôme est plaisant, parfume sur le yuzu et relevé par l'apport du houblon Sorachi Ace qui rend cette bière plus intéressante avec son apport d'aneth voire fenouil sauvage. Effet un peu citron vert, le yuzu offrant un nez parfumé frais.
Palais reste tout de même sur une base rappelant une Berlin Weisse, fine acidité de la levure tout en étant accompagnée d'une fine acidité fruitée du yuzu, ici sur les agrumes, délicat. Pointe épaisse en bouche rappelant un côté pâtissier. C'est bien le Sorachi Ace qui vient relever le tout avec un apport herbacé, aneth - citron vert pour un effet un peu cocktail. Base malt revient en retrait pour contrer un peu l'acidité.
