Description
Cocomiette's mission is to have a positive impact by fighting against bread food waste. Our beers are made by integrating unsold organic bread crumbs to replace part of the malts. We collect these unsold items from organic stores and bakeries and transform them into breadcrumbs: this bread thus finds a second life by playing the role of cereals in our recipes. The brewing process extracts the sugars from the starch of the bread which are necessary for the yeast to work during fermentation.

Saint Geoire en Valdaine – village with 7 castles – is a commune in Isère to the west of the Chartreuse massif; the Val d’Ainan brewery is its 8th castle! This is where La Dauphine, and now Cocomiette, is brewed. Cocomiette beers are also brewed at Brasserie Slalom in Vercors. For Cocomiettes brewed in Ile-de-France, it’s in collaboration with Brasserie Hespebay that it happens. All beers are developed and brewed in these 3 breweries in collaboration, using traditional know-how.

Hazy amber/orange pour with a small white head; aromas of malt/bread, orange and spices. Taste adds orange marmelade and herbs. Not necessarily what I expected from the style, but quite nice. Well done on being organic and using left-over bread.

Bottle on 2nd December 2021, received as a gift in Paris. Pours deep copper with a pale tan foam and full lacing. Caramel aroma with pine and sweet berries. Spicy citrus in-mouth with black bread roastiness and hints of smoke. A fine malty finish. Velvet smooth mouthfeel and plenty of body. A very interesting beer.
