Founded 1997 by Claude Berri, Gérard Depardieu, Renaud, and Miou-Miou after making the film Germinal in Valenciennes. The brewery was called Brasserie des Amis Réunis, and located in a former slaughterhouse. It became the Brasserie de Saint-Amand-les-Eaux in 2002. In 2005, after a closure due to liquidation, the brewery was taken over by Jean-luc Robert Butez (owner of International Breweries and Beers), and opened again under the name of Brasserie des Sources.

07/05 0.75 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured golden body with floating particles and medium sized head above. Biscuit malt and fruity yeasty aroma. Slightly sweet flavor, slightly sour, touch of wood, coriander and other herbal spices. Medium to thinner body with slightly sweet finish. As we all agreed on tasting, a fine beer, no obvious flaws, but so ordinary that it can easily become boring.

06/05 0.33 l bottle courtesy of Marko, thanks for sharing! It poured amber body with medium sized head. Hop and fruity (berries) aroma with also a touch of coriander. Flavor was fruity as well, biscuity, vanilla... Lacks expected bitterness, for its own good. At least, it wasn’t empty like most BdGs. Ends nicely fruity with some coriander and pepper. Not bad, a fine beer to taste.
