Description
At the origin of this project, the inevitable meeting of two Dijon residents accustomed to treating the ambient austerity with the simple pleasures of the table. They were then students of a Master in fermentation processes, in Dijon, with the title which speaks volumes about their interests: Wines, beers, cheeses. This training will lead them to work in traditional Belgian breweries, in particular the Brasserie Saint-Feuillien in Roeulx and the Steam Brewery in Pipaix - the last of its kind in working order - but also in breweries embodying the brewing revival such as Nøgne ø located in Grimstad (Norway) and small French brasseries such as Morgat in Belle Île en Mer.
At the end of their training, they set out fully determined to complete their project, supported by their families and friends. A little over 6 months after having graduated and at only 23 years old, their dream becomes reality: the Brasserie Elixkir is born in Couternon.
Less than three years later, in May 2018, the brewery moved to new premises at 7 rue de l'Enclume in Quetigny. Slightly set back in one of the most active commercial areas of Grand Dijon, the brewery flourishes in a building three times the size, with a layout designed to provide ever more care to beers. In the process, the Brasserie opens a Taproom in June 2018, combining the offer of bottles to take away from the store with a cozy space where it is possible to taste the beers in the best possible conditions and at friendly prices.

1/III/25 - 66cl bottle from La Bièrerie (Illkirch, Strasbourg, FR), shared @ Belgian Beer Geek Gathering (2025 Winter/Spring edition), BB: 21/VII/25, lot# 2466 (2025-163)
Cloudy beige blond beer, small creamy yellowish head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: lovely, lots and lots of tropical fruits, juicy, sweet ripe mango, very nice stuff! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet and sugary start, alcohol, fruity, gentle bitterness, pretty floral, a bit soapy. Aftertaste: soft bitterness, more floral and soapy notes, a bit sweet, nice TIPA, but not my favourite kind of IPA.

Bouteille 75cl @ Belgian Winter gathering 01 March 2025 – Tim’s place, thanks Tim. BB 21/07/2025, lot# 2466.
Dorée/pale, col blanc-crémeux tenace.
Arôme sur un bouquet plaisant houblonné oscillant entre léger tropical et fruits à noyaux – abricot. Rétro-nasal malté avec une petite base plus sur le côté FR/BE.
Palais est chargé en malts pils, pâle, léger cara avec un houblonné plaisant et qui est alignée avec le côté malté – pas mal de noyaux – je ressens de la pêche et abricot et qcq pointes tropicales. TIPA de Noel qui ne surfe pas trop sur l’ajout d’épices de saison – pas plus mal.

Tap @ Les Moulins Bleus, Dijon. Hazy pale golden with next to no head. It feels like a session brew belying its strength given how easy and inoffensive it is to sup.
