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.

Bottled. Hazy golden, rich creamy head. Light-medium bodied with some fruitiness. The nose provides grassy hops, later on vailla and raspberries join as well. Lively and well rounded - very well structured and homogenous. I like this!

Bottle, 75cl corked. A dark golden beer with some microfloaties and a big, coarse off-white head. Cellar, malty sweetness, fruits and orange-peel notes in the aroma. The flavor has cellar, fruityness, some grainy flavors and a little alchol towards the finish. Some alcohol as well. Effervescent and dry in the mouth. A quite decent beer, but I prefer the blond.

Bottle, 75cl corked. When trying to carefully open the bottle, the cork popped and hit the roof, followed by gushing, giving an almost clear, golden body. Coarse, bit white head. Cellar, cork, fruits, some banana and grains in the aroma. The flavor has cellar, some grains, fruityness and a decent bitterness, leading to a slightly more bitter finish. Effervescent and dry, with a touch of alcohol warmth. Easy drinkable, with well hidden alcohol. (090116)
