A friendly local brewery
While this brewery does not export its products, it has all the makings of a great brewery. The raw materials, the vats, the bottle machine – everything is designed to produce good beer, but with a personal touch.
Indeed, this brewery is a real family affair. Jean-Michel enjoyed making beers with his dad when he was young. Over time, he decided to pay tribute to him by creating a beer in his honour: ‘La Paternel’.
In terms of quantity, suffice to say there is a little more here than in the kitchen of years gone by.
Tasting craft beers
These brewers did not stop at just one beer. They tried a lot of different recipes. Naturally, they only kept making the best of them. You will really like ‘La Baron’, or the ‘La Thomassine’ brown beer.
Jean-Michel and Isabelle also enjoy creating seasonal beers a lot. Sample a beer with elderberry or gingerbread flavourings. These are real treats that put one in mind of spring or Christmastime.
Visiting with friends
You can explore the brewery on-site. You’ll also love the tasting area. This site is a typical spot where you can happily chat with locals.
You can also buy local produce and products made with beer.
The Escaillonne micro-brewery comes to mind when you want to go out with friends or family and promises very happy memories.
