O'Clock Brewing
Microbrewery in Bois-d’Arcy (Yvelines), Île-de-France, France 🇫🇷
Established in 2015
The story begins in college and continues until today with the opening of the O'Clock Brewing brewery... Between there were those years when the trio brewed for fun in the parents' garage equipped with the bare minimum and then there were also these trips to several producing countries, particularly in Northern Europe, motivated by their love of the fermented drink.
These three bearded friends and keen on good beers opened their brewery in the industrial zone of La Croix-Bonnet in Bois d'Arcy. The flavors are imagined by Kévin, with five years of experience as a brewer. The three friends want to move away from the French model and offer different beers.

Tap at La Fine Mousse, 26th April 17. Great selection of beers tonight. This I could catch a whiff off for a while before I drank it, floral big hops, loads of them whafting across the bar. The taste is full on hop delivery, bitter, citrus, floral, not too sweet either for the ABV. Great Hop Hit.

Bottle at home, 24th March 17. I’d have to check, but this may be the best French barrel aged beer I have had. Pours black, small tan head. Aroma is liquorice, cocoa, dark chocolate, leather. Taste is light liquorice, wood, barrel, light and really well integrated whiskey notes, enhancing the very decent base beer. Good achievement from a rising star brewery in France
