Description
Now the "largest of micro-breweries", Coreff has been perpetuating the spirit of the English master brewers since 1985, doing it in its own way, between absolute demand for quality and zero fuss.
In 1985, it actually took courage, and a lot of conviction, to launch a Breton beer with a Breton name (Coreff = beer in Breton). When from the 1990s, the tide turns and announces the revival of Breton culture, Coreff naturally benefits. Even today, drinking Coreff is a militant gesture (or militrant as we say at Coreff). Against the standardization of taste and for a different conception of consumption.

Tap on a plastic cup. Doesn’t seem like a true Bier de Garde to me. The kind of beer that people drink on festivals. Average beer with some malty taste.

Old rating - A bottle I picked up from St Malo in Brittany. I've had most of the Coreff range before, but this was surprisingly good. It's a Blonde Cuivree, meaning coppery/ brassy or brazen, this came out in the taste. It's 7.5% but hid it well. One I'd like to try again.
