Description
The Ouroboros Brewery is a Chimaera.

Created in 2012 in the Allier Gorges, it migrated, bags of grain, tanks and boiler on its back, to brew beers on the whim of meetings, trades and collaborations with other breweries.

For two years, the production has been moving between Barbaroux (Haute-Loire) and the Couille de Loup brewery (Finistère), before setting up in the Monastier-sur-Gazeille, near the Mont Mezenc.

Since 2016, the brewery settled a bit higher in the mountains, in Freycenet-La-Tour, in and old lacework factory remade into a salting factory.

Brewery perpetually on the move with a limited production, on a quest for an organoleptic harmony with an alchemical approach, advocate for a french and international brewing revolution in order to multiply ideas and recipes, reconnect with the tradition of local beers and fire brewing, dream, experiment and create beers with a strong character and an aroma of imagination.
