At the origin and at the helm of this adventure, we find three young Normans (one Cédric and two Thibault/Thibaut) who have been brewing for 7 years. After starting out as passionate home-based amateurs, they gradually became professional and left their jobs in banking or as digital consultants. The company was born in 2019. The name, 1989, refers to their year of birth, but also to a whole geek/video game universe from the 1980s and 90s that they love. The entire visual design is thus flashy, created with the aim of attracting the eye.
In Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, a brewpub project is underway, that is to say a place which will bring together a beer production space and a place of consumption/ pub. Brasserie 1989, that's its name, is due to open in September 2022, in a space of 80 square meters, in the Technopôle du Madrillet district.

440ml can from Garage à Bieres, Herlies. Pours a hazed yellow, overly big frothy foam atop. Good tropical bent fairly high on the carb front. Not overly smooth, but fresh and zippy.

Bière dégustée à la maison, robe dorée aux reflets orangés, fine mousse peu persistante. Nez puissant sur le houblon et les fruits tropicaux, avec une belle note de mangue. En bouche, bel équilibre entre le houblon vert, frais et l’amertume franche. Les arômes de mangue et de pamplemousse s’invitent en milieu de bouche, apportant une touche fruitée avant une finale sèche et amère, bien marquée. Superbe interprétation du style !
