Description
Craig studied Malting, Brewing and Distilling science in Edinburgh, worked in several micro breweries in the UK and also for an independent malt whisky bottler. A bona fide flavour junky, he was naturally attracted to La Belle France where he worked for a few years in Burgundian wineries before settling with his French wife and family in the countryside north of Paris where he started his activities in 2010.
To get the business up and running he used the ultra-scientific, quality-driven de Proef brewery in Belgium and still uses, for the moment, this brewery for the production of the first three creations: Agent Provocateur, Cuvée d'Oscar and Psychedelia. in June 2015 a brewery installation was completed in the French farm-house where he lives.

dark hazy amber color. Strange nose of rye, crack wheat, chocolate malt. Some what sour , malty mouth. The rye adds an odd character and I understand they are trying to do something unique, but it comes off a bit muddled. Strange banana clove finish. Odd beer, wouldn’t order again, but glad I tried it.
