Brasserie Skumenn
Microbrewery in Cesson-Sévigné (Ille-et-Vilaine), Bretagne, France 🇫🇷
Established in 2015
The history of the Skumenn brewery begins in 2012, on the other side of the world: in India. During a journey at the foot of the Himalayas, Stéphane, one of the 2 founders, has a revelation after reading a book by John Seymour "The complete book of self sufficiency". He would turn his passion into his profession: brewing craft beer. He shared his thoughts the next day with his long-time friend Thomas, also from the Rennes region. The idea caught on and, once back in France, Stéphane started their first brews with Thomas. Once their university degrees in hand (management for Stéphane, communication for Thomas), a brewing training in La Rochelle and several amateur brews, they decide to move up a gear: the “Skumenn” project (Ecume in Breton) was born. In August 2015, it was only natural for our 2 young 28-year-old brewers to settle in their native region, in Brittany, more precisely in Acigné, a town adjacent to Rennes. Today the brewery has integrated a third brewer, Jules.
