11 Rue de La Gare, Griesbach-au-Val, 68140, France
Description
Local brewery in the Munster valley which offers mixed, wild or natural fermentation beers aged in barrels of Alsatian wines or spirits.

Launched in May 2021 by Sébastien, SPO gives pride of place to living beers aged in barrels. A real bias for this lover of natural beers with character, who has chosen to use only local barrels (Alsace): Pinot noir, Sylvaner, Alsatian spirits... A remarkable arrival in the small world of craft beer, thanks to perfectly made beers: original, balanced, dry, woody, acidic and rustic.
