This is how it all began: "I brought back a brewing kit from a trip to Canada in 1988. At first, everything was complicated: no raw material, no information ... The beer was undrinkable, but it was intriguing. With the advent of the Internet, I started talking to other amateurs to help me get started. " After a few brews and several months of gestation ... the first craft brewery in Correze was created in June 2008 ... on paper. Then after two or three developments, the brewery opens its doors at the beginning of summer 2009 at La Grange, in Curemonte.
Ten years later, the Brasserie Corrézienne, victim of its success, decided to expand and a new building is under construction, in order to be able to increase from 900 to 1500 hectoliters per year, for a potential close to double to medium term. "We have not been responding to demand for 2 years, a step has been taken!" An adventure to follow ... around a good beer of course!
Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a cloudy golden with some tiny impurities and a dense and lacing off-white head - comes gushing. Odd aroma, perhaps a little flowery hops? Light body, massive carbonation, a little dry caramel, ends dry with a whiff of smoke. 150211
33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is light caramelish and yeasty. Mild acidic, dry phenolic and somewhat malty, vague smoke infection note. Bitter, vague citrusy and dry. Bitter finish. Simple.
Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours amber with a slight haze and a small off-white head. Lovely sweet almost perfumy aroma - there’s gotta be some spice there. Medium body, heavy carbonation, overripe fruit and a rustic farmhouse edge. Fairly hoppy finish. 150211

Bottled. Hazy orange color, medium white head. Aroma of some caramel malt, mandarine, hint of citrus. Bit bitter, bit spicy. Not the average belgian triple, bit odd, but quite nice.
