Description
A true Lyon institution, it was founded in 1836 by Georges Hoffherr, an Alsatian from a family of brewers. Our project was born from a meeting between professionals and enthusiasts of the brewing industry. A meeting in a legendary place in Lyon's culture, the Brasserie Georges, where Georges Beers have been brewed for about ten years in a microbrewery. A long-abandoned operation, we were keen to revive in 2004.
From our shared passion and the complementarity of our backgrounds, a natural result was born this desire to promote and share these beers with the enthusiasts who flock to the brewery to toast with friends and family.
We have thus rediscovered the pleasure of sharing distinctive beers with strong personalities that made Lyon's breweries famous during their Golden Age.
Our ancestors were familiar with the famous Munica Brune and Pilza Pale! In 2017, our goal is to revive Georges Beers in bottles and introduce you to our master brewer's creations.
A long-matured project, through which we hope to create pleasure and emotion in all enthusiasts, a tribute to Georges the creator and to our predecessors, a desire to perpetuate this valuable heritage, made possible thanks to our host, La Brasserie La Grihète® with whom we had the pleasure of collaborating.

Bottled. Hazy amber, minimal head. Fruity caramel aroma. Sweetish with medium body and rounded, somewhat sloppy mouthfeel. Cellary caramel, notes of pears. Low bitterness. Limp.

At the source: Pours mahogany with beige head. Aroma is pretzel and so is the taste. Lightly sweet. Some little hoppy tinges toward the finish. Some cigar. Not bad at all. Easily the best beer they had.

Draft. A murky dark golden beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and fruits. The flavor is sweet iwth notes of malt, straw, and fruit, as well as lighter notes of hay. The body is light. All in all a bit boring.
