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.

On tap at Bières Cultes Châtelet, Paris. Shared with petit Dina. Unclear brownish copper, small head. Aroma is smoked dark fruit, prunes and rock salt. Hints of spices. Flavour is smokey and salty dried tomato, berries, spicy paprika and rosemary wood. Smooth, light to medium body, soft texture, a bit bland, finishes dry and abrupt but the spiciness saves it.

On tap at Bières Cultes Châteret, Paris. Shared with petit Dina. Unclear pinkish red, small head. Aroma is pickles and cucumber at first, beetroot, berries and some malts. Flavour is earthy and salty beetroot, with a fruity touch. Soft spicy note from the dill. Light bitterness, still quite refreshing. Dry. Moderate to high carbonation.

440ml can from Super U, Cotentin. Drunk watching France vs Morocco. Hazed golden yellow, receding white head. Moderately sweet haze, light bodied for style, ok sipper for watching the match.

Pours more of a reddish amber than brown. Very basic, sweet, notes of toffee, sugary malts, bread, golden raisins, low bitterness, a little toasted grain. A light coffee accent. OK in small dose but can’t imagine drinking multiple tins.

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
