Description
Discover the beers of the Iron brewery, the essential and daring craft beer factory in Occitanie! David Garrigues and his team offer innovative, original craft beers and prove their know-how, brew after brew, with balance as the key word. The Iron brewery is located in Montauban, in the heart of the “pinkest of pink cities”, this city of pink brick which contrasts with the verdant flora of the Tarn that surrounds it. Founded in 2017, David very quickly offers beers with character, far from the standards found in the Occitanie region and throughout France.

Since its creation the Iron brewery has sought originality while maintaining "high-end" quality. Evolving outside the paths of "Blondes, ambrées, brunes", being part of a new original and qualitative French brewing landscape is a priority. We dedicate our soul to bringing craft beer to the same level as wine, namely a beer that is not made only to quench thirst but for tasting and thus create new passions.

11 - 14 July. Holiday retreat at Laon. Cheers! Can from V&B Nanterre.
A: hazy orange, no head.
A: tomato juice, bell peppers, moist paprika powder, curry ketchup.
T: sweetish bell pepper, salty tomato, spicy curry & chili powder.
F: peppery chili & curry burn, no hops, vegetables.
P: light to medium body, watery texture, average carbonation.
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined. But seriously, I was intrigued and hoping for an actual Smoked beer with some spicy flavours, instead I got a very weak base beer and an overload of the intended flavourings, making it practically undrinkable.

On tap at Black Sheep in Montpellier. Everything about this is painful: the body, the flavours, the fakeness whatever cheap adjuncts were used, terrible

Can at Koht, Tallinn. Citrussy hop with roasted malt, orange, some pine, chocolate. This leans towards the fruity/hoppy Yang of BIPA while the malty Yin assumes a supportive position. Citrus and orange dominate with a bittersweet flavour. Medium body. Very nice.

A hazed golden ale with a very thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light ground cherry, light lactic notes, light Epsom salts, very nice. In mouth, a nice tart mix of ground cherry, light lactic notes, light Epsom salts, a bit thin but good.
